185, Bandit Three
Hearing that the Iron Harrier had decided to make a move, the three eyes immediately stood up: "Big brother, I'll take enough people to rob this convoy!"
Iron Harrier waved his hand and smiled: "I, the big boss, haven't personally dispatched for a while, and my muscles and bones are a little rusty, and people outside are afraid that they will forget my Iron Harrier's name!"
He mentioned it in his voice, and said with a smile: "This time, let Brother Wei personally lead his brother out, and the second brother and a hundred brothers will stay to see the cottage." ”
"When Brother Wei comes back with rice, grain and meat, take out the wine in the cellar, and have a drink with the second brother!"
Iron Harrier recently found a very bad sign, in the cottage, the reputation of the second master of the three eyes is getting higher and higher, and it has somewhat overshadowed his big master.
This time, since he wants to show his prestige, he needs to be personally dispatched by the big boss.
If the Three Eyes are allowed to establish prestige among the newly arrived homeless bandits, and in the future, these homeless people only know the Three Eyes and do not know the Iron Harrier, how will the team be brought down?
Ordering all the people and horses, the iron harrier immediately put on the iron armor, carried the Daguan knife weighing more than 30 catties, and slaughtered down the mountain with great momentum.
The grain team appeared very suddenly, not far from **Ling, if you delay the time, wait for the grain team to go away, it will not be easy for **Ling to rob this grain team.
If other mountain bandits find the grain team, they will never be polite to the Iron Harrier, and there are many mountain bandits who are stronger than the Iron Harrier.
The two hundred old bandits who followed the iron harrier down the mountain, although their clothes were tattered and they looked like homeless people, but there were many sturdy people, and there were some iron blades in their hands, and some of them had leather armor, and their momentum was also fierce.
At the end, there are the new homeless people, although there is some food on the mountain, but they must not be full, and their faces are full of vegetables.
A small number of them holding a wooden stick can be regarded as weapons, and more with their bare hands can obviously only fill the scene and fight a tailwind battle, and the real battle cannot be counted on.
The iron harrier took four or five hundred people down the mountain, and on the surface, he felt that some people were more than powerful, and knew that the grain team was only more than fifty people, and there were no weapons in their hands, and they did not engage in any ambushes or the like, so they went directly towards the grain team with a fierce momentum, so as not to be preempted by other mountain bandits.
The bandits who went out to monitor the grain team first soon returned.
"Big boss, where is the grain team resting in Niu Guoxia now. ”
When the iron harrier heard this, he was stunned for a moment, and then he was overjoyed: "What a stupid guy, do you think that hiding in the Niuguo Gorge can rely on the terrain to block our attack?"
The spy smiled: "It is estimated that they know that they are short of manpower, and it is easy for us to make dumplings from other places." In the cattle crossing the gorge, it can rely on the narrow terrain and resist one or two. But there are only a few dozen of them, how can they stop the glaive knife of the big boss!"
This guy seized the opportunity to tout the iron harrier: "The big boss is in the late stage of the strong bone realm, and his strength is unparalleled, in such a narrow terrain, even the big boss can kill these fifty mountain people by himself." ”
Iron Harrier smiled proudly: "The martial arts are a bit too much, the master of this great is still self-aware, and when he encounters a martial artist of the Blood Condensation Realm, he can't fight." However, the same strong bone realm is definitely not the enemy of the Glaive Sword of this great master!"
Hearing that the grain team was in Niuguo Gorge, the last trace of worry of the iron harrier was eliminated, and he immediately ordered to speed up and rush towards Niuguo Gorge.
This cow crossing the gorge, as the name suggests, is a long canyon, so narrow that it can only allow cattle to pass, although it is a bit exaggerated, but most of the place is only three or four meters wide, and it can really only allow an ox cart to barely pass.
Niu crossed the gorge on both sides of the steep cliffs, there is no place to ambush, as long as the entrance is killed, the grain team has nowhere else to escape, can only escape along the canyon, but the speed of the convoy is definitely not as fast as the mountain bandits.
A large group of mountain bandits made a noisy and noisily headed towards Niu Guoxia.
Sure enough, after entering the Niu Gorge, the terrain gradually narrowed, and without going out of two or three miles, the canyon narrowed to a width of more than four or five meters, and the four or five hundred mountain bandits had to stretch the formation, even the more than 100 old bandits in front of them, and it was difficult to gather together.
The Iron Harrier took the lead, holding the Daguan knife, and rode the horse in front, and it didn't take long for him to find the trace of the grain team.
To the great surprise of the Iron Harrier, the grain team did not move forward, but untied the ox carts, and more than a dozen ox carts were stacked in the narrow mountain road, blocking the way tightly.
At this time, the iron harrier already felt that something was wrong.
Normally, the cart is loaded with rice grain, and with the character of the mountain people, they are reluctant to throw away the rice grain even if they lose their lives, how can they pile up the rice grain in the ox cart on the mountain road?
Through the gap in the car, the iron harrier suddenly saw dozens of strong men, looking at them coldly, the front was all holding shields and iron knives, and there were more than a dozen young men holding bows and crossbows at them!
Iron Harrier's heart trembled suddenly, his face changed suddenly, and he was about to call the mountain bandits to set up a wooden shield, but at this moment, a rocket roared out and landed on the ox cart, and he saw a roaring fire.
It turned out that the packets of rice grain on the ox cart were extremely dry firewood, and there were also things such as grease and other ignitions!
The Iron Harrier didn't know where he had been ambushed, but the other side didn't give him a chance to speak at all, and there were already sharp arrows whistling towards him.
From the shrill whistling of the bow and arrows, the Iron Harrier knew that these were extremely terrifying bows.
He let out a loud shout, and the Daguan knife in his hand swung like a windmill, and swept away several bows and arrows that were shot at him in succession, but his arms were faintly numb from the shock of the bow and arrows of amazing strength.
Iron Harrier was shocked in his heart, these bows and arrows were all forged from steel, and those who blocked the way were by no means ordinary villagers!
The mountain bandits next to him don't have such luck, in the face of the steel arrows shot by the ten-stone steel bow, not to mention these ordinary mountain bandits, even if the iron harrier accidentally hits, he has to be pierced thoroughly!
The narrow mountain road made it impossible for the mountain bandits to dodge, and there was a sky-high fire in front of them, so the mountain bandits could only let them retreat.
But in this moment, more than a dozen mountain bandits died under the steel bow, and the powerful bow and arrow even killed two birds with one stone, penetrating through the body of the mountain bandit in front, and could also cause a fatal attack on the mountain bandit behind!
In the event of a sudden attack, the mountain bandits were in a mess, and even if they were as strong as iron harriers, they did not dare to cross the flames to kill the grain team that was ready to attack, and they did not even dare to stay in front, so as not to become the target of the opponent's arrows.
The iron harrier was so angry that he screamed, but he made a decision immediately, brandished his knife, and retreated into the crowd.
The bows and arrows in front did not stop, in addition to those terrible steel bows, there were arrows roasted from old bamboos shot out, these simple bows and arrows, the lethality is not weak, and it is not a problem to shoot ordinary mountain bandits.
The mountain bandits retreated one after another, but at this time, there were also bursts of exclamation and roar from behind.
Obviously, four or five hundred mountain bandits have been blocked in this narrow cattle gorge.
The Iron Harrier now knew that the other party chose to pass through the Niuguo Gorge, not relying on the terrain to resist their attacks, but to wipe them out!
He has been a bandit for many years, and when he saw that the mountain bandits next to him were in chaos, he immediately shouted: "Brothers, stabilize me!
In the middle of shouting, he slashed and killed two terrified mountain bandits in succession, somewhat stabilizing the situation.
The other bandits also knew that such a panic would only lead to more serious casualties, and some bandits stepped forward with wooden shields covered with double animal skins, their bodies curled up behind the shields, and the two shields were stacked to protect the mountain bandits behind the shields.
Aside from those terrible steel bows, the arrows sent by the hunters of Wind Hunter Village could not penetrate these skinned shields.
Even if the steel bow penetrates these thick wooden shields soaked in tung oil and covered with animal skins, the lethality is greatly reduced.
You can't see the target, it's difficult to cause effective damage, and it takes a lot of effort to use a steel bow, and steel bows and arrows are also precious, and there aren't many of them, so Tang Gou'er and the others simply stopped shooting.
These thirty submerged abyss guards and more than twenty hunters of the Hunting Wind Village, the task is only to block the way of the ** mountain bandits, but it is the seventy submerged abyss guards who killed from the entrance of the canyon who really exterminated the mountain bandits!
Originally, Shi Hanming also planned to use the fire bull array to attack the bandits, and the effect of implementing the fire bull array in such terrain is needless to say.
But now ploughing cattle are in short supply, a large number of displaced people open up wasteland, as well as transport materials, etc., all need cattle, Shi Hanming is reluctant to waste a dozen cattle, only to stop the mountain bandits with fire.
On the Iron Harrier's side, he could still resist the attack with a shield, and the archers among the mountain bandits slowly organized themselves and fought back, but the situation in the back was quite bad.
Even if it is the reserve of the Qianyuan Guard, the combat power is not something that the mountain bandits can compete with, and the dozens of old bandits who pressed the formation were killed by strong bows and steel spears in a moment.
The rest of the outcasts and new bandits, seeing dozens of fierce strong men, holding steel shields and iron knives, holding spears diagonally and killing in a neat array, had already been frightened, where could they still organize a formation to resist these sudden killing gods.
A few new bandits who relied on a bit of force and were also more courageous still wanted to show a flover, wielding wooden sticks and killing the hidden abyssal guard.
But without the help of archers, the pikemen simply stabbed the three or four meters long spears with the head of steel spears forward, and stabbed these mountain bandits to the heart.
Even if the mountain bandits are strong, but in the face of several spears at the same time, where can they resist it!
Shi Hanming was in the middle of the main attack team, and while stabilizing the formation and killing the mountain bandits, he shouted: "Changding Township Qianyuan guards suppress bandits, and those who squat and hold their heads will not be killed!"
The old bandits and thorns were all killed, the mountain road was crowded with mountain bandits, and they couldn't run if they wanted to, and when they heard Shi Hanming's shout, they didn't have the heart to resist, they all squatted down honestly, holding their heads in their hands, their faces were frightened, and their bodies were constantly trembling.
The sword and shield men and steel guards didn't care about these squatting bandits, and continued to advance in four rows, while the archers behind took out the hemp ropes they had prepared earlier and quickly tied up the mountain bandits.
They had specially practiced bondage, and ordinary mountain bandits could not break free.
Shi Hanming and the other Qianyuan Wei reserves in the front row were all Qi Induction Realm martial artists, with sharp armor, which was not something that the outcasts could resist at all, and the advance was very smooth, and it didn't take long for more than two hundred new bandits to be taken down.
On the Iron Harrier's side, he was originally waiting for the fire to subside, so he planned to break through and kill the hidden abyss guard who was in the way.
It's a pity that the fire hasn't dissipated yet, and Shi Hanming and the others have already killed behind them.
The sword and shield men in the mountain bandits are all concentrated in the front to resist the attacks of Tang Gou'er and others, and the mountain bandits and archers in the back, where can they withstand the spear array and sword and shield array of the Qianyuan Guard.
In the blink of an eye, more than a dozen mountain bandits were killed, and some clever mountain bandits had already given up resistance and squatted down honestly.
Iron Harrier and a few fierce mountain bandits died very aggrieved.
Under the suppression of several steel bows in the rear, Iron Harrier couldn't use all his martial arts.
The sword and shield of the Qianyuan Guard held long knives and steel shields, squeezing their space step by step, and the sharp spears pierced out through the gaps in the shields, and the mountain bandits only fired two or three spears, and then more spears pierced them.
Although the Iron Harrier's Guan knife was powerful, it couldn't really dance too much, and just as he was about to surrender, suddenly a steel arrow passed through the knife curtain and shot his thigh.
The iron harrier stumbled, and the knife was slammed, and in an instant, several sharp arrows shot at the iron harrier, shooting the iron harrier like a hedgehog.
The iron armor infused with internal strength can't resist the terrifying power of the ten-stone steel bow!
Whether it was the dead Iron Harrier, or Shi Hanming and the others, they didn't find that in the steep valley cliffs of Niuguo Gorge, there were two hidden figures, both of them wearing armor and bows, and they were the real hidden abyss guards, and they were also the elite who had trained into a heavy golden bell jar!
Seeing that Shi Hanming had dealt with these mountain bandits neatly, one of the elite Qianyuanwei nodded with satisfaction, and took out a piece of yellow paper and charcoal to record it.
Just as Shi Hanming and the others were cleaning up the battlefield and preparing to try to attack the ** Ridge, on the side of Qinghe Village, Chu He was holding a charcoal pen, burying his head in something on it.
The painting of Chu River is a five-bull crossbow that only appeared in the Tang and Song dynasties in the later generations.
These eight-ox crossbows, also known as three-bow bed crossbows, have three swords and arrows with one gun, and their power is quite amazing.
Chu He had studied the structure of the eight-bull crossbow before, and had also seen the video of making the eight-bull crossbow, and originally wanted to see if this eight-bull crossbow could hurt his double golden bell jar, but he didn't think that it would be used at this time.
The power of the eight-ox crossbow restored in later generations is not up to the power of the ancient books, but it does not mean that later generations cannot make stronger bows and crossbows, but according to the records, they are made of wood and cow tendons, etc., and if steel is used, the power of the eight-ox crossbow is extremely amazing.
Chu He believed that if the key components of the eight-bull crossbow were made of steel, using silicon-manganese alloy steel bowstrings, etc., the power of the eight-bull crossbow would probably not be able to resist even the four-rank martial arts!
It is recorded in the history books that the eight-ox crossbow required thirty soldiers to pull it apart, and this is not a problem here.
Even if it is made of steel, with the strength of the indigenous soldiers here, if you find ten or eight strong men, you can use the eight-ox crossbow.
After the pulley group and other forces are improved, as long as the structure is strong enough, it is possible for the eight-bull crossbow to strike with tens of thousands of catties of force.
