Chapter Eighty-Seven: The Battle of Self-Defense of the Bodyguards (1)

Under the cry of the middle-aged steward begging for mercy, the red-eyed Huo Lang couldn't manage so much, not to mention that the two sides already had a deep hatred, you must know that the nine carts of gold, silver and jewelry are not a small amount, Huo Lang has long been eager to skin that guy alive, ignoring the other party's pleas, he personally took a brother to tie up the other party and push it in front of the two rows of spearmen.

The result was indeed not as Ding Li expected, the cavalry team that had originally charged into a distance of one hundred and fifty paces was just about to open their bows and fire a volley, but everyone's movements were also paused, their initial strategy must have been to break through the gap in the middle of the carriage in front, break through the defense of the spearmen with dense feathered arrows, and charge into the rear of the carriage to start a fight.

After a short period of panic in the cavalry, they re-turned their direction under the timely command of the leading officer, and the blue arrow pointed obliquely into the air, accompanied by the crisp sound of the bowstring developed by the five fingers of the leading officer, and everyone around them followed suit, and a series of breaking sounds suddenly sounded, and more than ten feather arrows quickly rose, drawing a beautiful and dazzling arc in mid-air.

This round of attacks was only tentative or demonstrative, for the Miao dart bureau and Huojialing people who were hiding behind the carriage, there was almost no substantial damage, some of the feather arrows smashed on the cargo box on the carriage, making scattered clanging sounds, and some of them jumped over the carriage and fell behind everyone, nailed to the ground weakly.

At the same time as the sound of horses' hooves resumed in his ears, Li Shan, the head of the big dart, straightened his body curled up and squatted slightly, and shouted at the crossbowman who was hiding between the two cars with a careful face: "Zhang Hemp! Li Huzi! What are you still doing? Hurry up the crossbow! ”

Although there is a group of gangsters outside the car wall, but they can't get rid of the shadow of the other party is still a regular army, so the movements in their hands are also a little messy, almost trembling turned around and poked the short crossbow in their hands out of the gap, and they didn't even have any aim, so the two hurriedly pulled the trigger, and then shrank their necks and hid behind the car wall again.

"Stupid! Take aim! Seeing this, Li Shan couldn't help but be a little angry, glared at the two of them with hatred, and was about to scold, but he heard a sudden wail of a war horse outside the car wall, and immediately gave up reprimanding the two, and hurriedly looked over, only to see that the charging formation of the group of cavalry was a little messy, and among the dazzling hooves, a fallen cavalryman could be seen being trampled by the iron hooves of the mount under his companion's crotch, except for the unlucky war horse that had just been shot by a crossbow arrow lying on the ground and swinging its four hooves, the owner next to him had stopped moving.

"Count you kid lucky!" Li Shan was a little overjoyed, but he still glared at Zhang Hao and Li Huzi fiercely, and instructed in a deep voice: "Remember, you have to aim for a while, there are not many opportunities!" ”

As soon as the words fell, before the two of them nodded in agreement, a series of 'boom boom' sounds sounded outside the car wall again, Li Shan and the others didn't care about talking more, and hurriedly continued to hide behind the carriage. But Huo Lang, the second leader of Huojialing, was a little unconvinced, although the two sides were in a cooperative relationship at the moment, but seeing that the first attack was snatched away by his partner, he suddenly felt that he had lost face, and while the feather arrow slipped from the air, he shouted coldly at the brothers he brought him: "Brothers, draw the bow and fight back!" ”

Before the words fell, the feather arrows above the head had already fallen, and those people in Huojialing were also really strong, after an order from the second master, they all bent down to draw the bow, and at the same time quickly moved backwards under their feet, the overall training was quite well-trained, after retreating about seven or eight steps, more than ten people straightened their waists together and lifted the horn bow full of their hands.

"Come back! Be careful!! Ding Li, who was also hiding behind the wall of the car, suddenly turned around and shouted at the more than ten people, and at the same time waved his arms at them, causing the surprised eyes of everyone around.

"Whoosh whoosh."

When the group of people in Huojialing had just stood firm and raised their horn bows, a series of whistling sounds pierced the sky above everyone's heads, and suddenly doubled the number of feather arrows that had just risen into the air, and the black pressure was like a flock of frightened birds, and in the blink of an eye, they turned sharply and plunged into the more than ten people in the car wall.

This is the real attack, although Ding Li has not seen ancient wars, but he has more experience in high-tech combat, the enemy's intermittent shooting just now is completely to suppress his own side, or there is also the intention of suppressing psychologically. And when the cavalry outside the wall is fully in effective range, it will launch a non-stop volley, which is the real attack, and it can also buy time for the attacker to charge.

More than ten people in Huojialing released the full bowstring in the horror of their eyes, and at the same time that their feather arrows were shot, their bodies also ushered in the first wave of the enemy's attack, more than half of them fell to the ground with arrows, and the remaining few people only escaped with their lives because the enemy had fewer people and scattered feather arrows, but they were extremely embarrassed and crawled back behind the car wall with their hands and feet, sitting on the ground with their butts, gasping for breath.

The cavalry outside the wall of the car was also counterattacked at the same time, and when Ding Li looked out, he was even more shocked in his heart, because he clearly saw that after a feather arrow pierced the arm of a cavalryman, it only cut a hole in the opponent's clothes, and the crack in the clothes reflected a silver light in the sunlight.

Armour! Although he could conclude that the other party was only light armor, Ding Li, who retracted his head, was full of shock, but he didn't expect that the cavalry outside was still wearing light armor, but as a result, the gap between the two sides in terms of equipment was opened again, and his own side was a cut behind in both defense and offense. Especially through the situation of commanding the counterattack just now, Ding Li has already concluded that Li Shan and Huo Lang still have a grudge in their hearts, and there are two commanders in front of the battle, which is simply a taboo for soldiers.

Huojialing's counterattack did not cause much damage to the enemy, especially because everyone was disturbed by fear while shooting arrows, and the strength was reduced by a few points compared to usual, coupled with the enemy's light armor defense, only two enemies were shot by arrows, one was shot in the crotch mount, and the other was a little unlucky, and the face door was shot right in. However, despite this, it did not have much impact on the overall enemy army, which was quite numerous.

"Boom! Boom! ”

This time, without waiting for Li Shan to command again, Zhang Hemp and Li Huzi quickly poked out the short crossbow in their hands, perhaps because their arrow hit the target just now, Zhang Hemp did not continue to hide behind the car wall as cautiously as Li Huzi, but poked his head out, and only pulled the trigger after a short aim.

Seeing that the crossbow arrow he sent out was about to hit the target, Zhang He's eyes did not have the initial excitement, but the big eyes widened more and more, and endless fear suddenly appeared, and even his face was instantly covered with despair.

"Poof!"

Zhang He's widening eyes didn't have a chance to see that he could shoot the enemy again, the muffled sound in his ears, the blankness in his brain, the blur in his eyes, especially with the arrow that protruded from the back of his head stained with red and white things, Zhang Hemp's body suddenly flew upside down, and since then it has ended his career as a dart master, and even his precious life.

"Brother Marijuana!" Li Huzi watched everything happen with his own eyes, and the whole person was frightened, only feeling that his eyes were about to be squeezed out, and then he threw the short crossbow in his hand violently, and pounced on Zhang He's slightly twitching body.

It's just that when he just pounced on Zhang Hemp, Li Huzi's body was also suddenly shocked, and when the two feather arrows that fell from the air easily sank into his back, with the surprise in his eyes, Li Huzi didn't even lower his eyes to look at the arrows that showed through his chest, and he struggled to support for a moment, and his arms fell to the ground as soon as he was weak.

"Huzi!" Li Shan also couldn't help the grief in his heart, and he hadn't gotten rid of the shock of Zhang Hemp's death, but another brother was killed by an arrow, as if he wanted to emulate Li Huzi's actions just now, but the body that had just gotten up was pressed down by a strong force on his shoulder, and when he turned his head, he saw that it was Ding Li with a heavy face.

"Hold it off for me! Hold the gap up! Huo Lang was also a little stunned, seeing that the cavalry was already close to the ruler, and the spearmen who had been resisting the gap had been scattered on both sides, if it weren't for the two of them pulling the rope on the middle-aged steward's body, the other party would have fled long ago.

"What are you doing in a daze?" Scar Wei, the deputy head of the Miao dart bureau, saw that those spearmen did not make any moves, so he realized that they were all brothers of his own dart bureau, and everyone was unwilling to listen to Huo Lang's command, Scar Wei couldn't help but feel anxious, and bent over with his spear, and shouted at several people: "When the cavalry rushes in, none of them will survive, don't resist it!" ”

"No! Come back! As soon as he held down the impulse of Li Shan, Ding Li saw Scar Guard rushing to the gap with a few brothers, and couldn't help but be a little frightened, just now he had noticed the cavalry outside the car wall, the other party had no intention of directly impacting his own camp, not only the sound of arrows breaking through the air in his ears was not interrupted, but more importantly, those cavalry who rushed in the front row did not change the weapons in their hands at all, and they still had a riding bow in their hands.

Huo Lang and Scar Wei were not as thoughtful as Ding Li, the two of them only had the brothers who died just now, and more of the brothers who were still alive around them, they couldn't let the cavalry outside rush in, otherwise, none of them would be able to leave.

Ding Li's reminder this time was not heeded, even Miao Cuihua beside him was clenching her teeth, staring at the corpses behind her with a pair of fire-breathing eyes, and there were crystal tears in her eyes that kept shaking.

Huo Lang didn't care about Ding Li's reminder, but rushed to the gap like Scar Guard, snatched the weapon of a spearman, and appeared behind the middle-aged steward, the spear blade went straight to the opponent's back, his eyes were full of anger, and flames erupted one after another, as if he wanted to burn the cavalry in front of him to ashes one by one.

Seeing this, Ding Li, who was a little helpless, was even more anxious, his eyes swept over the two short crossbows that fell on the ground, his feet jumped, the whole person rolled back and forth on the ground a few times, and after taking the two short crossbows into his hands, he dodged and hid in the position where Li Huzi was just now, his back was close to the carriage, his hands kept turning on the short crossbow in front of him and the arrow box on the side, and in the blink of an eye, the two short crossbows were reloaded with crossbow arrows.
