Chapter 23: Flanking Attack
Tubalhu and his men, who had just come out of the woods, faintly saw a man climbing up the mountain in the evening twilight, and looked closely at the excited barking of the breath dog, it was the person they were going to hunt down.
Tubalhu and his men were in good spirits.
Although I wondered a little in my heart: how could there be only one person. Tubahu still immediately ordered: "Chase!"
The soldiers, who were already quite tired, chased after them.
Zhang Zhiliang turned his head, glanced at Tubahu and his men, pretended to panic, and shouted: "Oops, it's not good!"
Just after the second turn, Tubalhu and his men were already out of breath and out of breath, and a group of people stopped and gasped for air.
Not far away, Zhang Zhiliang also pretended not to be able to run, bending over and panting there.
Tubahu thought to himself with pity: It would be good to have archers, and at this time he would definitely be able to shoot the kid in front of him to death.
After besieging Chen De and Zhang Zhiliang almost with other pursuit teams, Tuba Hu once regained two archers from the other teams who had been deployed according to the instructions of Shandu Junfeng.
However, these two people are very conceited about their archery skills, and when they heard that the two archers in front of them were shot in the head by Chen De almost at the same time in a near-archery duel, they both expressed disbelief and scoffed: no matter how powerful a little hairy child is, it is limited, and such a result is impossible.
And said that if it were them, Chen De would have been shot into a sieve a long time ago.
Soon after, when Chen Tak decided to get rid of the two archers, he repeated his old tricks. The two archers did not hesitate to engage in an archery duel with Chen De, but unfortunately, one was killed and one was seriously injured.
Once again, there were no archers available among Tubalhu's men.
After Tuba Hu regained his strength, he ordered his soldiers to continue the pursuit.
Zhang Zhiliang, who was waiting in front, saw that the Dazhu soldiers were chasing, and he also ran away.
Tubahu and his subordinates felt that their legs were getting heavier and heavier, but when they saw that the big yuan boy in front of them was also exhausted, he refused to show weakness, and it seemed that he couldn't even run away from a child, so he kept chasing and stopping behind Zhang Zhiliang.
The Breath Dog's stamina was obviously much better than that of these Great Soldiers, and it ran behind the Sword and Shield Hands with ease.
Tuba Hu obviously didn't dare to let the Spirit Dog be damaged, as soon as he saw Chen De and Zhang Zhiliang, he habitually let the Spirit Dog hide behind the sword and shield hand. This left Chen De without a chance to shoot this strange beast that was a great threat to them.
Before he knew it, Zhang Zhiliang had led Tuba Hu and his men to the steepest part of the mountain. He began to pay attention to the screams that made his blood boil.
Soon, Zhang Zhiliang's expected arrow whistle sounded.
With the power of his ears, he could clearly hear three consecutive tones at extremely short intervals.
It is Chen De's three arrows.
Chen De's target was the Spirit Breath Dog, and in order to succeed in one blow, he used three arrows to seal the direction where the Spirit Breath Dog might dodge. Sure enough, the hound, who was dodging to the left, was shot in the right buttocks with an arrow, letting out a terrible howl that made Tubal's heart tremble.
The injured hound's movement became sluggish, and Chen De seized the opportunity and shot it in the neck with an arrow.
After shooting the Spirit Dog, on the zigzag mountain road, Chen De, who was standing on a higher level, quickly fired several arrows at the sword and shield hand who exposed his back to him on the mountain road below.
Although the sky was already dark, Chen De and Zhang Zhiliang's eyesight was far beyond ordinary people. As for where the arrow should be shot, Chen De saw it very clearly.
Tubalhu and his men learned their lesson, and they were all wearing leather armor much lighter than armor to protect vital parts. These arrows are usually called on the leg or arm. There were almost no arrows, and the sword and shield hands were wounded.
The sound of Chen De's bowstring sounded was a signal for Zhang Zhiliang to turn around and kill the Dazhu soldiers.
At this moment, this group of twelve or thirteen Dazhu soldiers fell into the front and back attacks of the two Dayuan teenagers. This move was indeed bold, and with the strength of two people, he dared to flank more than a dozen people.
Tubalhu and his men finally understood that they had been tricked.
The two of them first waited for their work, and then lured them into chasing a long mountain road with one person, so that their physical strength was almost exhausted.
The other archery master used the terrain to ambush them, and when they entered the ambusher's ambush range, the ambusher was located high behind them, and in a sudden attack, he shot the spirit hounds first, and then shot and wounded four sword and shield men.
The lure turned back and charged at them, and even flanked them with the strength of two people.
Tubahu is a person who has experienced the battle, and he quickly calmed down and made a reasonable response.
Tubahu ordered: the team switched positions before and after.
His intentions were for the spearmen in the back to move forward to kill the knife-wielding boys who rushed towards him, and the wounded sword and shield men in the front team moved backwards and used their shields to fend off the arrows.
This maneuver and back created a brief confusion on the narrow mountain road.
Chen De seized this opportunity and fired several arrows in succession to expand the results of the battle.
The sword and shield hand in the U-turn exposed the vital point of the face, but was shot by Chen De and two people, resulting in one death and one serious injury. Because of the mutual avoidance with the sword and shield hands, the spearmen, who were sluggish, were shot and injured by Chen De.
Capture the thief and capture the king first, thinking so in his heart, Chen De immediately shot the tiger with two arrows in a row.
Tuba Hu was indeed better than his martial arts, and although his body was tired, he still used the knife in his hand to quickly fly two arrows. Although he avoided Chen De's attack, he didn't dare to rush to the front to solve Zhang Zhiliang first as originally planned.
Tubahu knew in his heart that if he rushed up, he would inevitably expose his back to Chen De. In such a light, Tubalhu could tell from the two arrows that had just attacked him that Chen De could accurately hit the parts of his body that were not covered by leather armor on his back.
From Tuba Hu's clean grid flying two arrows, Chen De knew that his kung fu was much stronger than Zhang Zhiliang. He kept an eye on it: as long as Tuba Hu turned around, he must attack him with arrows.
Seeing that Zhang Zhiliang, who rushed down, was about to rush to Da Zhu Bing, Chen De decided to help him first.
Two arrows were fired at the two pikemen at the front.
The two sword and shield bearers beside the spearman, when they heard the sound of the bowstring, tried to block the arrow with their shields, but they were wounded and could not see the direction of the arrow in the dim light. Two pikemen were shot in the arms from behind by arrows, and their combat power was greatly reduced.
Zhang Zhiliang, who rushed down, had a fierce tiger in the mountains, and a big Zhu soldier stabbed him first, Zhang Zhiliang used a knife to shoot away, and after shooting with a knife, he kept castrating, and swung his knife forward, and slashed at the soldier's neck.
With just one move, he beheaded a big soldier, which hit the morale of the surrounding big soldiers again.
Two more spears, one left and one right, pierced at Zhang Zhiliang. Zhang Zhiliang, who has basic knife skills and is very proficient in steps, uses a knife to dial the gun, and then progresses to swing the knife. The two spearmen were stabbed in the arm and could not hold the guns in their hands. Losing the weapon in their hands, the two had to retreat, and the soldiers behind them blocked Zhang Zhiliang forward.
When Zhang Zhiliang and Da Zhu soldiers were fighting, Chen De felt soreness and numbness in his two arms due to the previous round of rapid shooting, so he had to start relaxing and pranayama.
However, his eyes were fixed on Tuba Hu, who was the biggest threat to Zhang Zhiliang, and if Tuba Hu turned around and killed Zhang Zhiliang, he would do his best to shoot Tuba Hu.
The remaining two sword and shield hands, holding shields at this time, surrounded Tuba Hu's body. Tubahu's martial arts and physical strength, which are superior to them, have now become the biggest reliance on the Dazhu soldiers to get out of trouble.
At this time, the battlefield on the mountain road formed a strange situation.
In the first half, the fight between Zhang Zhiliang and Dazhu soldiers was splashed with blood, and the second half was a calm confrontation. Tuba Tiger stood still with his sword, and after recovering his strength, he planned to kill his opponent again. Moreover, the mountain road is narrow, and it is difficult to perform if there are many people.
Zhang Zhiliang, who fought with the Dazhu soldiers, became more and more courageous, and after slashing several Dazhu soldiers with a knife in his hand, his confidence became more and more full.
Under the pressure of the fierce Zhang Zhiliang, two of the exhausted and demoralized Dazhu soldiers fell down the steep hill one after another because they could not see their feet clearly.
After Zhang Zhiliang cut down three more Dazhu soldiers, the last two were left to retreat to Tubahu's side. Tubalhu had regained some of his strength by this time, but there were only four of his men left who were still in combat, and two of them were wounded.
Seeing the deaths and injuries of his subordinates, Tubahu decided to take down the knife-wielding boy first, and then there was hope of turning the tables. He gave a few words to the two sword and shield men, and then immediately killed Zhang Zhiliang.
Chen De immediately shot an arrow at Tubalhu, but the sword and shield man who followed him closely followed blocked the arrow with his shield. Another arrow was fired, which was also blocked by the shield.
Tuba Tiger has already killed Zhang Zhiliang. Zhang Zhiliang looked at the Tuba Tiger who was much taller than him who was killed with a knife, and knew that he had come to the most dangerous time today.
However, he was not afraid.
Tubahu's sword technique has been sharpened by the battle formation, and there are no fancy moves, and he uses one knife after another to slash at the vital point.
Tubahu, who had been gathering momentum for a long time, thought that within three or five moves, he would be able to cut down this young man. However, his estimate was completely wrong, and he realized why so many of his subordinates would fall under this young man's knife.
The basic movements that Zhang Zhiliang practiced weekdays worked.
Under his skillful techniques of teasing, dialing, collapsing, and blocking, after more than a dozen "clanging bells", he actually blocked all of Tubahu's onslaught. It's just that his right hand is faintly swollen. But it aroused his fighting spirit even more.
Completely angry, or the hunter turned into the hunted, he was so angry that Tubalhu forgot his original strategy. That is, try not to use big moves, or move in a large area, so as not to lose the cover of the sword and shield hand, and give Chen De a chance to take advantage of.
Zhang Zhiliang was completely on the defensive under the pressure of Tubahu, and retreated step by step.
When Tuba Hu slashed at Zhang Zhiliang's neck, Zhang Zhiliang swung the knife away, but this time the power was not mastered well, and under the flickering of his body, he was caught by Tuba Hu and slashed at the thigh. Zhang Zhiliang couldn't dodge, was scratched by the blade of the right leg, and fell to the ground with a "eh" sound.
Seeing such a good opportunity, Tubahu pounced forward, ready to make up for it and reap the life of this Dayuan boy.
This pounce allowed Chen De behind him to seize the opportunity, and a quick and accurate arrow "poof" penetrated his neck.
Tubahu's knife was still castrated, slashing at Zhang Zhiliang.
Zhang Zhiliang rolled on the spot, narrowly avoided Tubahu's deathly knife, and almost rolled down the hillside.
The remaining four, seeing that Tubalhu was dead, all ran down the hill, hoping to escape with their lives.
