On both sides of the winding official road leading to Yanzhou, there are not many rivers intertwined like other places in the south of the Yangtze River, but hills of different heights and sizes.

It's the best time of the year, and the many plants that cover the hills are thriving, lush, and obscuring many of the details.

This naturally gave the green forest bandits who were familiar with the terrain here an excellent condition to ambush and hide, until they came out with the sound of the hammer, the cavalry team that was moving forward quickly at the bottom of the mountain was a little caught off guard, and even subconsciously reined in their horses and slowed down.

Lin Ze was even more happy when he saw this, but at the same time, a bloodthirsty and excited light shot out of his eyes, and he drew a knife in his hand, which was already far away at the team.

The thieves of Tianmu Village, who had long been familiar with its command style, roared one by one, like a vicious wolf in the wilderness, fiercely rushing straight down, more than ten zhang high mountain slopes, plus a distance of seven or eight zhang, for them, it was almost just a blink of an eye to rush.

In their eyes, the team of thirty or fifty people is just fish on the chopping board, just waiting for them to swing their knives and cut them. After all, this is a nearly tenfold gap in strength, and they still have ambushes at their own home, and they are all heroes of the green forest who kill people and set fires, and the other party only has the road left to kill with their hands tied.

Determined and rampant, they did not even fire their arrows, but planned to swallow up the cavalry of thirty or fifty men who had stopped with a single blow with the ferocious onslaught of these two sides.

And when they really hit the target, an amazing scene suddenly happened.

There was no panic scattered as imagined, no panicked shouts, and no even strong orders, the dozens of people just quickly shrank towards the middle position, and quickly gathered into a circle most suitable for stubborn defense.

A round shield half a person high has been erected in the outer circle, and in the center, more than a dozen crossbow machines have also been raised and aimed at the sides.

Without any command, whizzing arrows passed through the gaps in the circle and shot straight at the enemies rushing on both sides.

In the blink of an eye, twenty or thirty of the fastest robbers were shot down by arrows in the screams, and they were still three or five feet away from the circle.

And their fall also disrupted the follow-up attack, some people stopped in shock, and some people accidentally tripped over them, so that their bodies lost control, and they also fell to the ground, which was really embarrassing.

This scene fell into Lin Ze's eyes, which made him feel annoyed, glanced at Jiang Lin beside him, simply shook the big sword behind him, jumped over, and the person had already swooped down on the hill like a big bird, and fell straight towards the center of the circle below.

Originally, he thought that he could easily kill the target with just this ambush, and he didn't even make a move.

Now it seems that he still underestimated his opponent, and he must use the strongest attack to break through this seemingly perfect defensive circle.

Jiang Lin was also slightly stunned when he saw this, and immediately followed up to save out of the high slope, and cooperated with the other party to kill the crossbowmen in the center of the circle.

In their opinion, the biggest reliance and strength of the entire circle formation is these crossbowmen, as long as they fall in front of them and kill them, they can succeed in one fell swoop.

But they were still in mid-air, and the battle below changed again, and it also made them instantly understand that their judgment was wrong.

Because there were already dozens of stronger bandits who had pierced out of the not dense rain of arrows and pounced in front of the circle, the first few burly men with enough strength even rounded the swords and axes in their hands, and then brazenly slashed the outermost shield shield, intending to kill through the defensive array and disrupt the target in one fell swoop.

So the thud kept sounding, and the shields could not withstand such a powerful slash, and soon cracks and shattered.

But at the same time, from behind the shields, there were spears that stabbed out like strange snakes out of holes, stabbing at every enemy that entered the attack range from different directions.

The group of bandits who had just slashed with all their strength didn't have time to make the next move, and there were already a few more transparent holes on their bodies, and they suddenly fell down screaming.

The spear was so fast that it was covered by the shield hand in front of it, and although it was only a dozen or so shots, it had already caused great damage to the dozens of people.

This was not the end, as the shields shattered one by one, several more people quickly pounced, and the steel knives in their hands fell neatly, slashing at the necks of the bandits who were still rolling and wailing on the ground, piercing them into the heart, and ending their lives in an instant.

Don't look at this circular formation, there are only thirty or fifty people, but the murderous aura exuded by the entire formation is far above the hundreds of people who are constantly descending on both sides.

Everyone here is a part of the killing machine, and all of them have no consciousness of their own, no fear and panic, and some are just merciless slaughtering of the enemy step by step.

When the bandits rushing down on both sides felt this, their momentum dissipated in an instant, and the impact that was still positive suddenly became muddy, and only a few of them rushed forward regardless of it, and most of them stopped at a distance from the circle.

The battle was turned around almost instantly.

I thought it was just a piece of fat delivered to my mouth, but it turned out to be the deadliest steel knife!

At this time, Lin Ze and the others had no time to make changes, and they rushed down, but instead became the most dazzling existence on the battlefield that suddenly calmed down.

Whoosh whoosh ......

More than a dozen arrows burst through the air, almost covering the space around the two people who fell from the sky, and there was a great intention to shoot them on the spot.

But the skills of the two are much stronger than ordinary people, although they were attacked in mid-air, they still did not see the slightest panic, and at the moment when the arrow was approaching, the steel knife in his hand had burst out of a ball of brilliance, enveloping Zhou's body up and down, and knocking all the more than ten arrows away.

And the figures of the two of them had already taken advantage of the force of the shock to fold in the air and floated straight to the side.

Obviously, the current battle situation has made them see that it is a very unwise choice to storm the inside of the circle, this team is much stronger than they imagined, and once they really enter the enemy formation, they are afraid that their situation will be even more disadvantageous.

It would be better to stay out and order the soldiers and horses to launch a new offensive from the flank again.

Their ideas are good, and their actions are decisive enough.

However, there are people who are faster than them.

At the same time as the two of them turned around and flew sideways, in the middle of the circle, two people also jumped out and intercepted them at a faster speed than them.

By the time they noticed something was wrong and tried to deal with it, it was too late.

A sword and a sword have been woven into a net, completely trapping the two of them.

At the same time, the circle formation, which had just been only on the defensive, suddenly changed its formation after two shouts, and formed a sharp array, and in the neighing of the horses, it rushed straight towards the stunned enemy on the left like lightning......
