Chapter 148: Firecracker Horse Thief
"Whoa! Click! ”
"Oops. Yes! ”
With a noise and an abrupt scream, a Cao guard who was slowly advancing towards the woods on the side of the official road suddenly disappeared in front of everyone, and everyone was shocked, but at the same time as they turned their heads to look over, there were also several Cao guards in the front row.
Accompanied by all kinds of chaotic sounds, smoke and dust, a moment of change made everyone take a few steps back, especially the guard holding the shield in front, after a little calm, driven by the curiosity in his heart, soon looked towards the accident site, but his face was full of caution, full of curiosity, and he couldn't help but shudder when he saw the deep pits that suddenly appeared in front of him.
The guards close to the pit cautiously stepped forward to check the situation, after all, there were still companions who fell into the pit and still wailed miserably, but when they saw the situation in the pit, they couldn't help but gasp.
"Hiss."
The pit is not counted, the length and width are more than half a meter, and the depth is about one meter, but the bloody bamboo spear barbs that penetrate the body of the companion in the pit have to make everyone feel scared for a while. In front of the situation, those who were directly stabbed and killed on the spot are actually lucky, and those who did not die immediately are the real unlucky ghosts, after all, there is no way to save them at the moment, and they can only continue to suffer from physical pain, until the moment when the blood in the body is exhausted.
"What else are you looking at? Go up and explore the way! Cao Chen, who saw all this in the middle of the official road, was angry and hateful, angry that he didn't expect that there was an ambush here, and hated that the subordinates he brought could fall into these pits, and not only on this side, at the same time as the incident happened, the same situation happened on the other side, just in this moment, Cao Chen lost more than ten subordinates, and couldn't help but angrily waved the Tang knife in his hand to urge the guards with spears who followed at the end: "What are you waiting for?" Hurry up! ”
Originally, the spear was not easy to play in the woods, so Cao Chen just arranged these people at the end as a kind of reservation for strength, but he didn't expect it to be calculated. However, the guards with spears were not afraid of the traps in front of them, after all, the spears that were close to the length were enough to poke out a large piece of safety in front of them, and after receiving Cao Chen's order, more than 20 guards with spears hurriedly rushed to the front of the team, and began to stab the ground in front of them with the spears in their hands, slowly advancing the entire team.
"Huh? Over here! In the blink of an eye, one of the stout guards at the front felt the abnormality of the spear in his hand hitting the ground, and suddenly his face showed excitement and exclaimed, but at the same time, there was a crisp sound like a hypnotic sound in the woods.
"Boom!"
Maybe it's because this guy is too far ahead, the sunspot who has been staring at the other party in the woods suddenly launched the short crossbow in his hand, a cold light flashed in the woods, and in the blink of an eye, the blood light flew up outside the woods, and the ability of the sunspot to seal his throat with an arrow is not something that ordinary people can bear, not only the stocky guard was killed on the spot, but even the rest of the guys who were in a hurry to step forward with spears were also frightened and trembled, and then before they could retreat, a series of crossbow strings in the woods sounded, but the damage caused was extremely limited, After all, not everyone's shooting skills are as accurate as Kuroko's.
But even so, the guards of the Cao clan were so frightened that they didn't dare to rush forward, and they all trembled and hesitated, and kept handing the same glances to each other, but none of them dared to turn their heads and ask Cao Chen for instructions.
"Fools with shields! What do you eat, don't you know how to protect your brothers? Cao Chen saw that everyone was frightened by this round of uneven crossbow arrows, and some people even quietly hid behind the shield soldiers, and he was a little angry, but commanding the battle was actually not what he was good at for Cao Chen, but Cao Chen couldn't lose face in front of everyone in the Yangwei Dart Bureau, and after scolding a few times, he scolded everyone again: "Up!" Gotta press it up! Fools with shields, protect your brothers! They are there for you! ”
With Cao Chen's reminder, the guards also slowly began to cooperate with each other, and finally pushed the front forward two steps, and at the same time successfully found several traps of different sizes, but suddenly a guard with a gun stumbled, although the shield guard next to him wanted to reach out to pull the other party at the first time, but he didn't expect to forget that he was still holding a shield in his hand, and he turned around and directly hit the shield on the other party, and smashed the other party directly into the trap without any suspense.
There was really no pattern to these traps in front of him, and the guard with the gun just now clearly found that there was no problem in front of him, but he never thought that the trap was at his feet. And just as everyone was once again frightened and hesitated, something strange arose on the other side of the slope, and the rumbling sound of horses' hooves quickly approached, causing the eyes of everyone in the caravan to shift again.
"Not many people, more than a dozen! Brothers, don't panic! Cao Chen was still very quick in terms of reaction, judging the approximate number of people just by the sound of horses' hooves in his ears, and at the same time decisively made arrangements, and shouted at Ji Chuan and the others next to Ji Zhan's corpse: "Go up and ten brothers on top!" Brother Yoshikawa, the opportunity for revenge has come! The enemy has sent to the door! ”
In fact, there was no need for Cao Chen to remind him, when Yoshikawa reacted, and even as soon as Cao Chen's words were shouted, Yoshikawa had already jumped on his mount, bent down and pulled out the ringhead knife inserted in the ground, and at the same time his legs had already clamped the horse's belly, and roared: "Brothers, take revenge!" ”
In the blink of an eye, Ding Li, Aguda and the others had already appeared, and at the same time as the crotch mount quickly jumped over the slope, there was a scene that made everyone scratch their heads. Everyone, including Ding Li, didn't have any weapons in their hands, just a mass of things that seemed impossible to know instantly, and the same thing hung on both sides of the saddle of the mount.
"Brothers, it's fryer!" As the crotch mount jumped over the slope, Ding Li shouted, and when the mount landed, a fire fold suddenly appeared in his left hand, and the thing in his right hand was quickly handed over, and the fire fold in his left hand was clearly a thick lead.
"Snort."
With the sparks that erupted from the lead in his hand, the same situation appeared in the hands of Aguda and the rest, and Ding Li was the first to round his arm and threw out the firecracker coiled in his hand, and then a group of dazzling firelight rose into the air one after another, quickly showing an unusually gorgeous picture in mid-air.
"Firecrackers! It's firecrackers! ”
A dart master of the Yangwei Dart Bureau suddenly exclaimed on horseback, and at the same time hurriedly pulled the reins in his hand, he didn't want to be injured by the firecrackers that fell from the sky, in the face of the power of the explosion, he would rather fight with real guns.
Not only was the dart master timid in an instant, but with that exclamation, more and more or even everyone began to tremble, or pulled the reins to stop the mount, or turned the horse's head and fled to the other side, or some slow runners directly turned the horse's head and began to retreat to avoid the edge.
Even Cao Chen, who was on the official road, was a little stunned for a while, he had never seen or heard of robbers using firecrackers, let alone a group of horse thieves who rode horses and did not hold any weapons but lit firecrackers.
"Fried! Then fry! ”
The distance from the slope to the caravan is only a few dozen steps, but it is enough for Ding Li and others to throw out a string of firecrackers hung on both sides of the saddle.
Almost everyone was fleeing, but the smell of being blown up by firecrackers was unpleasant, debris was flying in the smoke, and many people had already got off their mounts and began to hug their heads and run away, after all, faces and heads without any cover were the most vulnerable to injury right now. Especially in a pair of eyes, even the slightest bit of blown debris can lead to blindness in the worst case.
What's more, many of the mounts were frightened, and with a terrible neigh, one horse after another rampage, rapidly expanding the chaos indefinitely.
But this sudden change had little impact on Ding Li and the others, after all, they were prepared, after the three rounds of firecrackers were thrown, Ding Li took the lead in pulling out a shiny Tang knife, which was not inferior even in the surrounding explosion and firelight.
"Split up as planned!" In the noisy crackling sound, Ding Li raised his voice to the maximum to reach the ears of Aguda and the others, but even if he didn't say it, Aguda, who had agreed in advance, had already begun to rush towards the Cao guards on both sides of the caravan with a few brothers.
At the moment, everyone's ears were completely crackling, whether it was Yoshikawa or Cao Chen's orders, they couldn't be conveyed in time, and the guards who didn't get the order for a while and were stunned by what happened didn't have any defense at all, and they didn't even have the action to dodge.
Horses galloping by, Tang knives poking out from the horseback, blood flew up one by one, falling to the ground one by one, and those guards who wanted to dodge but were unlucky to fall into the trap, in the earth-shattering sound of firecrackers, soon there was a miserable howl of crying father and mother, and quickly broke through the shroud of firecrackers, reaching the sky.
As the saying goes, after the geese passed through the voice, and after Ding Li and Aguda rode over for more than a dozen, there was also a sound left, and after the sound of firecrackers gradually disappeared, there were wails everywhere, of course, among them, there were heart-rending roars from Yoshikawa and Cao Chen, the widening eyes of the two were about to burst their eye sockets, but looking at the 'masked horse thief' who was gradually moving away, they could only let out an angry curse and roar that was powerless.
After jumping out of the caravan for sixty or seventy steps, Ding Lima did not slow down, glanced back at everyone, and won without loss, and couldn't help but be overjoyed. Then his legs clamped the horse's belly again, and he ordered in a deep voice: "It's almost time!" Rudachi and Kuroko, they should be withdrawn! Let's withdraw too! Let's go into the woods one after another, and see you at the appointed place! ”
