Wu Yuan, Gu Ji, and Wu Xiong rode the Xishuang horse, sparing no horsepower, and along the flat official road, they had already crossed dozens of miles in only half an hour.

It also gradually moved away from the city and into the rural wilderness.

Here, most of them are land bandits and water thieves.

In the distance, you can see a vast hilly area in the distance, undulating and undulating, and a large number of trees grow in the hills.

The official road is interspersed with a canyon in the hills.

"In front, there is the 'Curved Forest Ditch', which is ten miles long, and it is also one of the most active areas for land bandits outside the city, so be careful about the size." Wu Xiong shouted: "Walk around Gongzi." ”

"Haha, Brother Wu, you're too careful."

"Although there are often land bandits gathering in this bend of the forest ditch, is it possible that they dare to do something to us?"

"Ten miles of land, rush over in an instant." The guards, who were formerly 'centurions', laughed loudly.

I don't care about it.

But their movements were not slow at all, some accelerated slightly, some pulled the reins lightly, and quickly and tacitly surrounded Wu Yuan and Gu Ji in the center of the team.

In their opinion, the weakest in the team were Wu Yuan and Gu Ji, who were housekeepers.

In fact, many guards were puzzled and even a little dissatisfied with Wu Yuan's desire to take an ordinary housekeeper with him.

It's just that when Gu Ji showed good riding skills, these guards didn't ask much.

"Boom, boom~" The horse's hooves stepped over, Wu Yuan and the others did not stop at all, and rushed directly into the winding ditch, not even reducing at all.

More than a dozen war horses slammed with all their might, and the tremors trembled, and the movement was very amazing.

…… Bend the forest ditch, the second half.

In the dense forest on one side, there was a large group of land bandits in ambush, nearly two hundred people, some wearing black armor, some wearing soft armor, cloth armor, and a few wearing cloth armor.

As for the weapons held, they are also varied!

However, more than a dozen of them were wearing uniform black armor, masks, and only a pair of eyes.

The most striking thing is the huge bow and crossbow they are holding!

Looking at these black-armored people, many other land bandits had a faint look of fear in their eyes, and they didn't dare to get too close.

Ordinary gangs of land bandits and water thieves, Hengyun Sect turned a blind eye.

There are two exceptions.

One is heavy armor! The second is a strong crossbow!

Once any gang dares to hide or mint these two things in large quantities, the local city guards and the Southern Dream Army will join forces to strangle them.

"Great Chief, this curved forest ditch terrain is the most suitable for ambush in the first half, why did these mysterious masters take us to this second half to ambush?" Some of the Lu bandits were puzzled and asked in a low voice.

"Stupid."

The leader of the bandits had a hideous scar on his face, and said in a low voice: "How can it be an ordinary caravan that can let them use bows and crossbows to ambush?" There must be masters! ”

"The bend of the forest ditch, the first half of the section is flanked by steep slopes, and a large number of trees grow, which seems to be suitable for ambushes, but we know, isn't the other party clear?"

"They're just going to pass quickly, and they're alert!"

"And after the first half, when the horses are scarce, people also relax their vigilance, but it is the easiest time for the bow and crossbow to make meritorious contributions!"

"Don't ask."

The leader of the Lu bandits snorted in a low voice: "These mysterious masters can completely force us to come, but they also spent 'five thousand taels of silver' to hire us, so do it well." ”

"Yes!"

"Understood." Although these land bandits are messy, after a long time, they are still more convinced of their own leaders.

But they didn't know that their own leaders had received great benefits and let them work for their lives.

"Don't blame me." The leader of the bandits swept his eyes over the large number of bandits beside him, and sighed in his heart: "10,000 taels of silver, enough for me to change my name and surname, change my county, and go to celebrate my birthday." ”

He knew in his heart that this deal would never be as easy as the other party promised, but he had no choice.

If you don't choose money, you will die!

Suddenly.

The earth trembled slightly, and there was a slight sound of horses' hooves, and those black-armored people and bandit leaders were all strong, and they all sensed it instantly.

The goal, it is likely to come!

"Hide!"

"Take out your bow and arrows, and get ready." The bandits, who were still a little noisy, immediately quieted down, and all of them stared fiercely into the distance.

They all knew very well that their whereabouts must not be exposed at this time, and dozens of land bandits in the front row bent their bows and arrows one after another, ready to shoot at any time.

The power of the crossbow has little to do with the user, it all depends on the instinctive power of the crossbow.

The power of the bow and arrow depends not only on the material of the bow and arrow, but also on the strength of the user!

didn't let this group of ambushes hesitate for too long, and in the official road of the gorge, a group of nearly twenty figures appeared in their sight.

"Eighteen horsemen?"

"More than expected! Is it the goal? "These black-armored people are a little hesitant.

That's a lot more than they have in their intelligence.

"Such a fierce team of knights can be seen very little every day in the bent forest ditch! At most, one or two, it is better to kill by mistake than to let go! Above! The black-armored man at the head was burly and had a strong voice, and gave an order to the leader of the bandits.

"Shoot the arrows!" The leader of the bandits waved his hand and ordered.

"Whew!" "Whew!" "Whew!"

In an instant, dozens of sharp arrows roared like meteors towards the knightly team that had slowed down a little.

......The second half of the journey is much safer. ”

"Don't worry too much." After the most dangerous first half, the team's guards were noticeably more relaxed.

"Childe, don't worry, most of the land bandits loot caravans and convoys, and knights like us are dressed as hard stubble at first glance, and they rarely deal with us." Wu Xiong's horse was a little faster than Wu Yuan's.

After leaving the county seat, their title for Wu Yuan was also unified - Childe!

"Hmm." Wu Yuan nodded slightly, but his eyes inadvertently glanced into the distance.

In terms of physical fitness, Wu Yuan is no less than a second-rate master, and in terms of martial arts skills, he is not a weak grandmaster, and how powerful is his spirit now?

The sense of control over the environment, even if it is not as good as the Grandmaster of the Earth Rank, it will never be weaker than the top master.

The land bandits of hundreds of people, no matter how careful and cautious they are, take action, and the sound is obvious.

Third-rate masters can't detect it.

How can you hide it from Wu Yuan?

However, Wu Yuan didn't open his mouth to remind, but was a little curious in his heart, was this team of bandits by chance? Or is it specifically ambushing yourself?

Suddenly.

Shout! Shout! Shout! Dense arrows suddenly shrouded down from the dense forest on the gentle slopes on both sides, each arrow shining with metallic light.

Terrifying!

"Not good!" Wu Xiong, who was still talking and laughing, suddenly changed his face and roared angrily: "Enemy attack! Protection! ”

Call! Call! He suddenly pulled out his twin spears behind his back, and formed a full moon, and several arrows that were fired from him crashed like lightning

Wu Yuan looked shocked, and seemed to have narrowly avoided the two arrows.

The other guards also reacted incredibly, either taking out their spears or knives, and slashing away the arrows that came one after another.

At the same time, the war horse galloped and quickly gathered towards Wu Yuan.

But.

"Puff~" "Puff~" There are still two knights whose strength is only 'high-level samurai' who can't dodge and are shot.

One was shot in the chest by an arrow, and was resisted by soft armor, and it was only the blood rolling, which was not a big problem.

"Bang boom!" There was also a knight who was extremely unlucky enough to be shot in the neck, blood splattered, turned over and fell from his horse, and life and death were unpredictable.

"A lot of people."

"A bunch of crumbs!" Wu Xiong and the others were all furious when they saw their own casualties, and from the power of the arrows, they also roughly judged the strength of the ambusher.

There doesn't seem to be much of a master.

"No. 2 to No. 4, cover Gongzi to rush out of the encirclement first." Wu Xiong shouted angrily: "The rest of the people, go uphill with me to kill the enemy!" ”

In the team, except for Wu Yuan and Gu Ji, everyone in the guard called each other by code names.

"Yes!"

"Kill all these shit, get revenge!" These city guards may also have internal rivalries, but they are extremely united externally.

If you have a brother dead, how can you give up?

"Boom!" "Boom!" More than a dozen Xishuang horses turned in an instant and divided into two groups, one group continued to move forward, and the other group rushed directly along the gentle slope to the dense forest.

Well-trained, turn like the wind.

"What? Only one died? Are they all masters of the stream? The hundreds of land bandits who were full of confidence just now all showed a look of horror.

It must be known that in their team of nearly 200 people, only the leader is a master of entry, and there are not even a few martial artists.

After all, if you have the strength of a martial artist, you can join a big gang.

It's like Wu Yuan picked the Fierce Tiger Gang alone.

An armored master can completely sweep in the face of dozens of seventh-rank warriors and eighth-rank martial artists!

"Chief!"

"What should I do?" Many of the bandits looked at the leader in horror.

However, the leader of the Lu bandits had already received the gesture of the burly black family, and immediately understood that this group of people was the target.

He couldn't help gritting his teeth: "Kill me!" Kill a knight and get a reward of 100 taels of silver! ”

"Kill!"

"It's a dense forest, and Malaysia's impact doesn't play to its advantage." These bandits were already licking blood from the edge of the knife, and under the heavy reward, one by one they also showed a hideous color.

Shot a second round of arrows, and then took out his weapons with a roar, and rushed towards the eleven knights who rushed up to Wu Xiong.

"Up!"

"Kill them all!" Wu Xiong and their horses rushed up the slope, and when the horses were still twenty or thirty meters away from the dense forest, they directly leaped up one by one.

People borrow horses.

In an instant, it crossed a distance of dozens of meters, and landed with a bang, directly meeting the land bandits who were killing like a tide.

"Bang!" "Poof!" "Wow!" Or a spear sweep, a short spear stab, or a long knife slash!

Like a meat grinder, stumps flew wildly, heads fell to the ground, blood splattered, and more than twenty land bandits died in an instant.

The six centurions of the city guards are not only physically strong, but also wearing the 'four-grade soft armor' given by the sect, plus years of cultivation, how skilled are they to cooperate?

They joined forces to kill, and they can be called one or twenty first-time masters of the stream.

Such terrifying casualties made hundreds of land bandits frightened, and their actions were all paused, they were seeking money.

I am no longer afraid of death, and I don't want to die!

Wu Xiong's two short spears pierced the bodies of the land bandits like lightning, and his gaze swept across the entire dense forest, and he suddenly saw more than ten black-armored figures who were extremely well hidden on the side of the dense forest!

The big crossbow with a raised handle was ready, and it was aimed at Wu Yuan and the others, who had already galloped hundreds of meters.

"Not good! It's the 'Armor-Piercing Crossbow'! Wu Xiong's face changed drastically.

But where can I stop it?

"Whew!" "Whew!" "Whew!" Thirteen armor-piercing crossbows that were enough to threaten second-rate masters were instantly launched, like thirteen black meteors, shooting away like lightning.

Target.

It was Wu Yuan who was in the middle of the team!
