As he got closer and closer to his cottage, Ghost Li's actions of urging the mount became more and more frequent, and the mood at this time was not as relaxed as usual when he returned from the autumn wind, but became heavier and heavier. There are 800 brothers who followed Ghost Li down the Black Wind Mountain tonight, and it was also Ghost Li who wanted to take the opportunity of this night attack to defeat the Southern Navy in one fell swoop, but nearly half of the horse thief mounts were not good horses, especially compared to the Black Wind Horse under Ghost Li's crotch, they were more than a little inferior.

Therefore, all the way back to Li Gui, he also had to control the speed of his mount and the forward speed of the elite under his command, which inevitably led to the overall return speed not being the fastest. However, this is not the main reason why Li Ghost is worried, but the forty or fifty horse thieves who were driven as cannon fodder by the tempting conditions he prescribed, until now, there is still no news, more like they have evaporated from the world.

According to his familiarity with the surrounding terrain, he saw that he was only three miles away from the Black Wind Mountain, but Li Ghost still didn't get the report message from the cannon fodder who was pushed out. And there are only two reasons for such a result, one is that those cannon fodder did not plan to return to the team to report the situation to Ghost Li at all, but fled directly back to the cottage on Black Wind Mountain, but obviously this conjecture is not valid at all, Ghost Li does not believe that they have the courage.

And the other situation is the ending that makes Ghost Li shudder when he thinks about it, that is, the cannon fodder sent out has indeed evaporated from the world, and it has completely disappeared without a sound. For all horse thieves, including Ghost Li, although this situation is very unacceptable, it is the only possible, even definite, outcome.

However, Ghost Li still has his own thoughts in his heart, and he has been operating Black Wind Mountain for many years, just relying on the terrain of Black Wind Mountain and the ambush trap that has been carefully created for many years, Ghost Li does not believe that the Southern Navy can take off the Black Wind Cottage in such a short period of time.

Of course, at this time, Li Ghost doesn't care about the fate of those cannon fodder, anyway, he was treated as cannon fodder from the beginning, as for whether those sky-high promises will be exchanged truthfully, or just a blank check, Li Ghost doesn't think too much about it now, the most important thing at the moment is not to consider the fate of cannon fodder, but how to accelerate the distance of three miles, as long as he can return to the Black Wind Cottage, Li Ghost is even confident that he can resist the all-out attack of the Southern Navy.

Especially when he thought of this, Ghost Li couldn't help but feel a burst of excitement in his heart, but there was always a strange feeling lingering in his heart, as if in the surrounding darkness, there were countless pairs of eyes staring at him, including the entire team he was in.

The distance of one mile is only passing in the blink of an eye, but the ominous premonition in Li Gui's heart is getting stronger and stronger, and the growth rate is several times faster than the previous combined, but as the distance from the Black Wind Mountain gets closer and closer, especially in the light of the moon, Li Ghost has been able to see the road to the Black Wind Mountain, Li Ghost also comforted himself more or less in his heart, as long as he returns to the cottage, he no longer has to worry about the Southern Navy, and the years of hard work are by no means in vain, just the traps that may appear everywhere in the mountains and fields, Li Ghost didn't believe that the Southern Navy could easily go to Heifeng Mountain, let alone want to storm the cottage.

Thoughts are running rapidly, the black wind horse under the crotch is also flying like four hooves, it seems that he can't wait to return to the cottage, the overall speed is also a few points faster than before, just a few breaths, hundreds of meters are once again left behind by the sturdy black wind horse, and there is a sudden loud noise in front of it.

"Boom!" Accompanied by this sudden loud noise, a ball of fire suddenly exploded at the foot of the Black Wind Mountain, although it was just a bright light like fireworks, but it illuminated everything on the ground clearly, at least Li Ghost himself saw it with his own eyes, and saw the scene that he would never forget in his life, unimaginable.

What caught his eye was the bed crossbows that had been erected, and what made Li Ghost feel the most cold was the iron crossbows on the bed crossbows, which were ready to be fired, under the firelight, the arrows of more than a dozen iron crossbows were also glowing with a little firelight, as if they were really lit, although they were not dazzling, but the little firelight made people not feel any warmth and scorching, but was extremely cold.

Under the night breeze, even Ghost Li couldn't help but shudder, Ghost Li dared to guarantee that this was the largest formation of the bandit army he had ever seen in his life, under the flash of light, Ghost Li did not see the specific number of bed crossbows clearly, but Ghost Li had already concluded that the number was definitely a lot, otherwise the Southern Navy, as a new army, would never open a formation under the Black Wind Mountain and wait for his return, and more importantly, the eye-filled bed crossbow was really reflected in Ghost Li's eyes, and even in the blink of an eye, It has left a deep imprint in Ghost Li's mind, and it seems to be indelible.

"Put!!"

Under the darkness of the night, Xu Hong, who was standing on a high platform that had been put together with a few donkey carts temporarily, suddenly let out a loud shout, and his raised left and right arms waved the two scarlet flags that seemed to have melted into the darkness to the front.

"Put! Put! Put.. ”

A series of echoes were repeated, and the heralds standing behind the bed crossbows also waved down the command flags held high in their hands, conveying Xu Hong's attack order to the bed crossbow operators.

"Boom!!"

A loud bang rushed straight into the sky, no weaker than the previous signal explosion, but this was only the beginning, the other fourteen bed crossbows responded one after another, the sound was like thunder, the sound was deafening, as if the entire night sky was going to be shattered in an instant, and even the ground trembled, and it couldn't be stable for a long time.

The iron crossbows that shot out one after another instantly tore the dull moonlight into countless afterimages, and in the piercing whistling sound, they flew straight towards the horse thieves on the opposite side.

"It's a bed crossbow! It's the army of the Setsudo Province!! The well-informed Li Ghost suddenly shouted, and even though he lay his whole body on the horse's back, even his head curled up tightly, and the shouting stopped abruptly, and as the words fell, Li Ghost heard the whistling sound in his ears filled with the summons of death.

According to the information that Ghost Li got yesterday, the Southern Navy did not have heavy ordnance, and he didn't know that the Southern Navy even had a bed crossbow, so for a while, he regarded the army waiting at the foot of the Black Wind Mountain as a regular army personally dispatched by Jiedu Mansion.

Li Gui didn't know the number of bed crossbows, but he still believed that the Southern Navy definitely didn't have such a large number of bed crossbows, although Li Gui got the news from Guangzhou Mansion that the Southern Navy was a descendant force personally supported and promoted by Jiedu Mansion, but Li Gui didn't get any news about bed crossbows, even if there were, Li Gui didn't want to believe it, after all, the Southern Navy was still just a new army.

"Chirp!!"

The first thing that sounded in the field was not the miserable howl of the horse thief who was shot by the iron crossbow, but the neighing of the horses raising their heads, full of panic and fear, under the roar of the iron crossbow, even the horses who had seen the killing scene were still frightened to a certain extent under the sudden salvo of the iron crossbow.

And those horse thieves who were shot, I don't know if they were unlucky or lucky, they had become dead souls under the iron crossbow before the battle began, and fortunately, their death was so fast, so fast that they didn't even feel any pain, the whole person had disappeared from the intuition that belonged to this world, and directly turned into a lifeless corpse without breathing.

However, in the blink of an eye, there was a heart-rending scream and wail in the field, and the terrible howl instantly pierced the sky, even the bright moon in the sky was trembling, and the moonlight in the entire night sky suddenly dimmed a lot, and the stars that kept blinking their naughty eyes suddenly disappeared most of them, and it seemed that the sudden killing on the ground frightened them, although they could not escape instantly, but they could close their eyes and stop looking.

The place where the bed crossbow was launched was only less than four hundred steps, and the position of the bed crossbow and the road leading to the Black Wind Mountain were only less than one hundred and fifty steps, after the whistling sound in his ears disappeared, the panicked Li Ghost suddenly raised his head, and swept behind him in a blink of an eye, but his heart was much calmer, although the attack of the bed crossbow just now was amazing, but the lethality caused was indeed limited.

Of course, Li Ghost didn't know that this was because the number of bed crossbows was too small to form a dense salvo, but Li Ghost knew that the launch of the bed crossbow was definitely not like the short crossbow that was commonly used.

"Don't panic! Brothers, don't panic! Rush over! Back to the cottage! Ghost Li immediately made a decision, decisively urged the mount again, and at the same time shouted to the red-haired ghost not far away: "Red-haired ghost! Fast! Let the brothers disperse, the other party will not have such a fast time to release the arrow again! Rush, rush! Back to the cottage! ”

"Brothers, spread out and don't get together! Rush over, follow me! "The red-haired ghost is Ghost Li's out-and-out henchman, although a short crossbow just now basically grazed his calf straddling the side of the mount and flew by, but the calmness of the red-haired ghost is incomparable to ordinary people, plus the experience of the battle is rich, and he immediately understood Ghost Li's intentions, his legs clamped the horse's belly, pulled the reins with one hand, and directly turned the mount, while constantly shouting at the panicked horse thieves around, while looking for how to break through the bed crossbow in front of him.

Whether it is Li Ghost or the red-haired ghost, there is nothing wrong with their ideas and practices, but they ignore one thing, a regular army with strong combat effectiveness, whether it is the descendant army of Jiedu Mansion as they guessed, or the new army of the Southern Navy, will not only rely on a dozen or more bed crossbows, but the combat of a single arm, unless it is with absolute suppressive strength, it will never occupy a dominant position for a long time.

And the Southern Navy in front of him obviously did not have absolute suppressive strength in terms of bed crossbows, and from the very beginning, Ding Li never thought that he would completely encircle and suppress this group of horse thieves in the Black Wind Cottage simply by using fifteen bed crossbows.
