Chapter 9: Assault
The thieves expected that someone would ambush them at night, and walked along the path unguarded and defensive.
"This group of thieves has let their guard down too much, and this is a great opportunity."
Yang Qi took out two feather arrows from the quiver, pulled the bowstring, swished twice, only to see two parallel feather arrows, breaking through the air, the feather arrows buried in the bodies of the two thieves, screaming, fell backwards to the ground one after another, and died in an instant.
The thieves were taken aback, and then realized what had happened.
Someone dared to ambush them in the dark, not far from the lair.
"Could it be that the officers and soldiers are catching up!" Someone shouted in panic.
The leader of the thieves was immediately furious, and with a whip, his panicked and timid subordinates flipped their horses.
"Hugh's nonsense, if you dare to disturb the morale of the army, I will directly cut off your head."
"It's so daring, just one person dares to come to the ambush." The leader of the thieves still has some eyesight, and he can tell the number of people in ambush at once, and there is only one person.
As soon as the words fell, the whistling sound of the feather arrow breaking through the air came, and two more people were killed with one arrow, screaming again and again.
The thieves had already taken precautions, but they were still hit, which showed that Yang Qi's archery skills were higher than those of people, and he couldn't prevent them.
The leader of the thieves was a little frightened and frightened, but he could not lose his majesty in front of his brothers, and mustered up the courage to shout.
"I don't know which brother on the road, please raise your noble hand, on behalf of more than 200 brothers in Longshan, thank you for your great kindness!"
Yang Qi was taken aback, can there be more than 200 thieves in Longshan? Impossible, at the end of the empire, all kinds of rebels, homeless people, and thieves with more than 100 people abounded.
But it's not the end of the period yet, if there are more than a hundred thieves, it will definitely be a giant thief, and it will also be listed in the Imperial War Department. And the center will definitely not let them go, and will definitely send troops to exterminate this group of big criminals.
Yang Qi was not generally familiar with the Longshan Bandits, and there were never more than half a hundred people in the old nest.
"Just bragging!"
Yang Qi was too lazy to pierce this cowhide, according to his experience in the game, there were less than half a hundred thieves in Longshan, and in addition to the old, weak, sick and disabled, there were only about 20 people who could be dispatched. It can be guessed that in order to rob the grain, I am afraid that they have already poured out of the nest, and at most only a few old and weak people have been left to take care of the family.
There are only about a dozen of these thieves now, and it is obvious that when they hijacked the grain transportation team, they rushed to the guards of the government and killed many people.
Yang Qi shot five more people, and there were less than ten people left.
Exaggerated numbers to inflate the status of their own gang are also a common tactic used by thieves to intimidate unsuspecting enemies and make them retreat.
It's a pity to meet Yang Qi, a player who is very familiar with them.
Through the dead companions, Yang Qi's hiding location has been roughly locked. The leader of the thieves quietly sent two people to attack one left and one right.
As long as you can force out the person who releases the cold arrow, in the wide plain is the world of cavalry, a charge surrounds and cuts the knife into meat sauce to avenge the arrow.
How can such a small action be concealed from the experienced Yang Qi.
The thief who hit the head was cautious, bending down while searching for the person who released the cold arrow, and from time to time used the branches and dense grass as cover. The timing of archery is difficult to grasp, and it can only be predicted.
In the game, predicting the direction of the enemy is the basic operation of the player, and some auxiliary functions help the player to easily make predictions, but Gao Play never bothered to turn it on, so Yang Qi practiced superb archery skills.
At the moment when he knew that the thief was about to emerge, he calculated the distance and the time when the feathered arrow flew to arrive.
With a whoosh, the thief had just emerged from the dense forest.
Poof!
The arrow entered through the eye, passed through the back of the head, and fell without a word.
There were still four feather arrows left, in order to kill the thieves better and faster, Yang Qi put away his bow and arrows, and drew out the long knife that had been carefully sharpened during the day, exuding a cold killing intent in the moonlight.
Another thief, Kou, was shocked by Yang Qi's superb and accurate archery skills, and when he saw that his companion in front of him was shot through the head by an arrow, he immediately bowed down and never dared to show his face again.
Yang Qi rushed towards the thief with a knife, only two or three steps away, before he hurriedly got up to meet the enemy.
Ding, loud!
The thief got up in a hurry, and the violent sound of the knife caused his center of gravity to be unstable, and he staggered backwards.
A snow-white sword light pierced through the sun and moon!
The thief didn't say a word, his head floated in the air, blood splattered into the sky, and his body slowly fell to the ground.
In just a moment, Yang Qi killed two thieves with one arrow and one sword, showing a leisurely stroll. Its ferocity frightened this group of thieves, cowardly, immediately led the horse to turn around and run away, accidentally fell into the small trap arranged, the horse's hooves stepped on the potholes and stones under the fallen leaves, directly lost balance, the horse's legs bent, fell off the horse, wailing constantly.
The leader of the thieves angrily rode his horse and rushed at the fallen man, swinging his sword with a single blow.
Blood splattered!
In an instant, the strong smell of blood shocked the panicked thieves.
