Chapter 193: What is Fear?
"You're not afraid to blow the cow into the sky over the South China Sea?!" Hearing Ghost Li's arrogant shout, Ding Li sneered, and while responding loudly at the other party, he threw a special look at the sunspot, but at the same time, his face was cold, and the gaze that looked at Ghost Li on the opposite side suddenly became a little colder, and the left hand that released the reins touched the Qin crossbow on the side of the saddle, and the right hand pulled out a fine iron crossbow arrow from the quiver hanging on the other side.
Heizi's movements were not half a minute slower than Ding Li's, and in the blink of an eye, the two of them both lifted the crossbow machine on their chests, and the speed at which the crossbow arrow stuck into the arrow groove made Wang Ling, who was close to the ruler, a little dazzled and surprised.
"Boom! Boom! ”
There was only an extremely slight difference between the two loud noises, but it made Li Ghost and the others on the opposite side unable to ignore that these were two crossbow arrows, especially the Li Ghost who was arrogantly swinging the black wind horse under his crotch, and in a panic, he also showed his immediate reaction ability and was very human, and suddenly pulled the reins and 'pulled' the mount to the side, while Li Ghost himself hurriedly leaned over the horse, and the legs straddling both sides of the mount were also pushing hard, and the black wind horse, who was full of experience in the battle, suddenly jumped out.
It's just that Ghost Li's reaction seems to be a little too redundant, except for the sound of breaking the air in his ears that seems to be able to tear everything through suddenly, Ghost Li didn't even feel any of the murderous aura it should have, but in the blink of an eye, two crisp sounds sounded in his ears one after another, and after turning his head hurriedly, what he saw was that the two big flags that were originally standing in the wind broke in response to the sound and fluttered and fell to the ground.
The Southern Navy was also stunned by this sudden scene, but after the two black flags lay quietly on the ground without the slightest movement, suddenly there was a shocking cheer in the Southern Navy, as if they had seen some wonderful stunt performance in the market, and even mixed with sparse applause.
"Good! Shoot well! ”
Seeing this, Wang Ling, who quickly calmed down, wanted to give the order to attack, and turned his head to Ding Li with a fist and begged for his life: "General! One blow, then decline, three and exhaustion! Our army should attack immediately! The last general is willing to personally lead his brothers to rush forward and annihilate the Black Wind Cottage bandits in one fell swoop! ”
"No hurry!" Ding Li first glanced at Wang Ling appreciatively, but slowly shook his head and rejected the other party's proposal, raised his hand and pointed at the righteous and angry Li Ghost who scolded the flag bearer on the opposite side, and explained contemptuously: "Do you really dare to bring such a few people to Giethoorn Town?" I'm afraid that if he gives him three times as many people, he won't be stupid enough to come to fight the idea of Giethoorn like this! He's just trying to test us! It's enough to give them a beating, now is not the time to clean them up! ”
"But, now that they're just such a few people, there's no reason why we shouldn't attack!" Wang Ling refused to agree with Ding Li's statement, or that he was even more anxious to fight and wanted to show his ability, looking at the horse thief team that was already panicked in the distance, Wang Ling looked unwilling to ask Ding Li for his life again: "General!" Now is definitely a great time, and the last general is willing to personally lead a team of brothers to rush forward! The general only needs to lead the rest of the brothers to press the final general! ”
"No way!" Ding Li still raised his hand to veto Wang Ling without thinking, and then turned his head and glanced at the veterans of the second regiment behind him, although everyone's face was full of begging for battle, but Ding Li still refused to give the order to attack, but groaned a little, and explained to Wang Ling in a deep voice: "Fighting is not the same as fighting, once the war starts, you will face immeasurable casualties!" Don't look at the brothers' training intentions on weekdays, but the actual combat on the battlefield is far from being able to do it by simple training, and more depends on mind and courage! ”
After that, Ding Li didn't care how much Wang Ling could understand, so he urged the mount to take a few steps forward, while Heizi hurriedly beckoned a group of personal soldiers to come forward to protect, but Ding Li seemed to have eyes behind him, and stopped the movements of everyone behind him as soon as he raised his hand.
But before Ding Li could say anything, everyone's attention was attracted by the faint and dull rolling thunder on the other side, and after looking at it in a blink of an eye, it was a cloud of smoke and dust that everyone was quite familiar with, and the sound of rolling thunder in the ears came from under the flying hooves of a large number of mounts running wildly in the smoke and dust.
"And the rescuers?" Ding Li was also slightly stunned, obviously it would not be his own Southern Navy that appeared from that direction, but after Ding Li turned his gaze to the opposite side, the dazed surprise on the fierce face of Li Gui quickly made Ding Li conclude that when there was no distinction between friend and foe, Ding Li did not dare to rush into danger, and hurriedly turned his mount to retreat, and at the same time shouted in a deep voice to the people of the Southern Navy who had not yet returned to their senses: "The whole army is on alert!" Always ready to fight! ”
Ding Li had just given a military order to the Southern Navy, but the horse thieves in the Black Wind Cottage on the opposite side were suddenly in chaos, although they had some scruples in the face of more than 200 regular troops, but all the horse thieves knew that the Southern Navy was just a regular army with sophisticated equipment but still a group of recruits. For the horse thieves who are accustomed to killing people and seeing blood, if the two sides are really at war, they really don't have too much timidity, after all, the gap between the two sides is a chasm that is difficult to overcome, and it seems to be a line between killing or not, but for many recruits, this is the first time is extremely difficult, even if everyone in the South China Navy is eager to try.
"People from Huojialing?" Kuroko's eyesight was undoubtedly the best among the crowd, and from a distance, he saw the golden banner fluttering in the smoke and dust, and while frowning, he asked incredulously: "Why are they here too?" Could it be that the people of Huojialing are now wearing the same pants as the people of the Black Wind Cottage? ”
Wang Ling didn't dare to be obsessed with the matter of asking for war anymore, as one of the vice admirals of the Southern Navy, Wang Ling did not study the layout of the surrounding forces on weekdays, the power of Huojialing and Heifeng Cottage should not be underestimated, and he was in a hurry to fight just now because he felt that what was in front of him was a good opportunity to eliminate Heifeng Cottage, but now the appearance of Huojialing made Wang Ling secretly relieved, after all, in his eyes, Huojialing is also a horse thief, although the reputation is by no means comparable to that of Heifeng Cottage, but a thief is a thief.
Seeing that the distance between the two sides was close to five hundred steps, it seemed that the people of Huojialing had no intention of stopping at all, just looking at the billowing smoke and dust, it could be concluded that the number of people hiding in the smoke and dust was at least twice as many as the Black Wind Cottage.
Just as Ding Li and the others gradually frowned, the horse thieves of the Black Wind Cottage who were originally in a panic on the opposite side suddenly moved, and even the two black flags that were not broken were quickly put away, as if the two black flags could become a guiding light.
Immediately after that, the first to move was Ghost Li, and there was not even any order, Ghost Li suddenly urged the black wind horse under his crotch to jump out, and pedaled the horse to the other side and galloped wildly, and the posture immediately made Ding Li and others on the opposite side understand that Ghost Li was going to escape!
What's more, Ding Li and the others can also breathe a sigh of relief, it is obvious that the people of Huojialing are not here for Giethoorn Town or the Southern Navy, but the target is Ghost Li, or the horse thieves of the more than 100 Black Wind Cottages.
"Now that's interesting! Huojialing's people and the Black Wind Cottage are fighting under the noses of our Southern Navy! Kuroko, who was slowly relieved, showed a playful smile on his face, for him, a professional killer, if it weren't for the restraint of the current captain of the pro-guard, he was really unwilling to follow Ding Li to participate in this kind of battle that could lead to a head-to-head confrontation.
Not only Heizi, but even Ding Li and Wang Ling were also happy, they didn't expect this kind of thing to happen in front of their eyes, in addition to being shocked and incredible, they were more crying and laughing, including more than two hundred Southern Navy, and they didn't even know what the purpose of themselves and others was here for a while.
"General! Great opportunity! It's definitely a great time! After separating the factions of the forces, Wang Ling, who was eager to fight, seemed to have received some kind of bewitchment, and urged him to step forward again to persuade Ding Li: "There will never be a second time for such an opportunity!" Our brothers from the other two battalions are also on the way here, as long as we seize the opportunity, we can wipe out the two largest horse thief forces operating in the area of Guangzhou Mansion in one fell swoop! ”
Seeing that Ding Li was still a little indifferent, Wang Ling leaned forward again with some excitement, turned over and jumped off the horse, knelt down on one knee towards Ding Li, and clenched his fists again to ask for his life: "Don't miss the opportunity, you won't come again!" General, give the order! There will never be such a good opportunity again! ”
"Wang Ling, the time has not yet come, don't be impulsive!" Ding Li glanced at Wang Ling, who was kneeling on the ground and asking for orders, shook his head and jumped off the mount to pull the other party up, sighed, and then took Wang Ling's arm and turned around and walked two steps, looking at the Black Wind Bandits who had completely turned around and fled, it seemed that it was due to the smoke and dust raised by the people from Huojialing on the side, Ding Li couldn't help but squint his eyes slightly, and explained to Wang Ling in a deep voice: "Huojialing and Heifeng Cottage are both horse thieves, since there is a grudge between them, then they naturally have their own solutions!" Although it seems that Huo Jialing has to fight the Black Wind Cottage at the moment, if our Southern Navy intervenes halfway, I think there is at least an eighty percent chance that the two bandits will turn their heads and target us! At that time, the gains really outweighed the losses! ”
Hearing Ding Li's concerns, although it made sense, Wang Ling, who was eager to show his war, couldn't understand it correctly, or he didn't want to understand it at all, and he completely distorted Ding Li's meaning in his anxiety, and immediately took two steps back, glared at Ding Li angrily and asked: "General!" You weren't like that before! Could it be that now you are a big official, but you are less courageous? Are you afraid of them? Even if they join forces, how can our brothers in the Southern Navy be frightened?! ”
"Afraid? Hehe! Facing Wang Ling, who seemed to have lost his mind, Ding Li behaved extremely indifferently, his sword eyebrows were slightly raised, his slightly narrowed eyes squinted at each other, and a sneer came out of his mouth, and a fine light suddenly burst out from his narrow eyes, and then suddenly stopped: "You come and tell me, what are you afraid of?!" Is it brave to rush forward regardless of everything? Regardless of the life and death of his brothers, blindly fighting on the battlefield is heroic? That's just recklessness! Act recklessly, and maybe you can be a hero for a while! But how could you have thought that for your bravery, how many brothers would have to shed blood and die behind you?! ”
