Chapter 50: Breakout

"There are only a dozen people on both sides of the road, and at least one or two hundred people on the hillside, how can we rush out?" The leader of the family obviously did not agree with Ye Ying's idea, and some of the family members next to him began to discuss and express their opposition.

And beside Ye Ying, although everyone in the Wild Lion Army didn't say a word, judging from their expressions, they obviously couldn't understand Ye Ying's thoughts.

"Their jars and bundles of wood were obviously used to block my breakthrough, and the enemy on the steep slope was so numerous that they would certainly not have thought that we would break through from here. It was difficult for us to break through on the slope, and it was actually a troublesome thing for them to want to reinforce each other. In order for everyone to act in unison, Ye Ying and Pan expressed their own ideas.

"Don't run to places with few people, but to places with many people, I don't know what you think, I won't follow you to death." At this time, a voice came from among the family members, and it was immediately echoed by many family members.

Ye Ying looked at Lu Tianzhao and the leaders of the family, and saw that they did not stop those who spoke, so he knew that they also had such thoughts in their hearts.

"There is some truth in what you said, this mountain road is narrow, and it is useless to go to many people, you go to some people first to drive away the enemies on the road, and I will lead people here to protect the adults, and we will rush over if the breakthrough is successful."

Ye Ying doesn't have much affection for these unbeatable family members, since they want to ask for their own hardships, let them go!

Before Ye Ying's words were finished, these family members had already begun to act, they divided the team into two parts, each part had forty or fifty people, and rushed towards the woodcutters and wine sellers who had been parked on the side of the road.

"What are you doing? The old man is an official of the imperial court, how can he be unreasonable. ”

Not long after these family members left, Ye Ying glanced at Qi Jiao and the others, and everyone understood, and immediately a few soldiers from the recruit camp dragged Lu Tianzhao, who had not yet reacted, and then everyone rushed towards the steep slope behind Ye Ying.

The remaining few family members saw that Ye Ying and the others had taken Lu Tianzhao away, but they couldn't grab it, so they had to follow Ye Ying and the others and rush up the steep slope.

The terrain of the steep slope is very complicated, and the bandits on the slope have no way to gather together, so they can only stand scattered around the steep slope, which gives Ye Ying and the others a chance to break through.

The scar-faced man who led the bandits saw the family under the slope breaking through to both sides, not only did he not panic, but his face showed a relaxed expression. But in the blink of an eye, he saw the group of soldiers of the Wild Lion Army hugging Lu Tianzhao in the direction of the steep slope, and his face was grim.

"The deadbolt, Huzi and Lao Qi will charge forward with me, and Brother Zhang and Brother Li will take your men to prevent the guys on both sides from coming around." Ye Ying rushed upwards and gave orders to several of his commanders.

Seeing Ye Ying and the others rushing up, several bandits in front immediately surrounded everyone with weapons in their hands, but these bandits obviously underestimated the fierceness of these wild lion troops.

As soon as the two sides came into contact, the few masters who rushed in front did not have any temptation, and used their best moves to launch a fierce attack on the bandits at the expense of physical strength and internal strength.

The bandits didn't expect that they would meet four masters of the martial arts realm as soon as they met them, one of them was still a second-grade martial artist, and they were caught off guard and were quickly killed several people.

The screams of their companions frightened some of the bandits, and they began to slowly retreat to the rear, and Ye Ying and the others took the opportunity to break through the enemy's first line of defense and continued to rush towards the steep slope.

At this time, there was a sudden scream on the mountain road, and some people turned their heads to look down, only to see that the mountain road was already in flames at this time, and the screams came from several families who were already covered with fire.

It turned out that when these families rushed towards the woodcutter and the wine seller, the two groups either spread the wood sprinkled with tung oil on the mountain road, or simply broke the wine jar and poured the wine from the jar on the ground, and then lit a raging fire, and at once surrounded the family who rushed to the front.

The mountain road was already very narrow, and as soon as the fire spread, there was no road through it, and the family's plan to open a hole from both ends was completely frustrated.

The family who rushed to both ends of the road saw that the road was impassable, so they had to follow the example of Ye Ying and the others and rush towards the steep slope, but at this time it was already a little late, and more and more bandits surrounded them and blocked their way forward.

Lu Tianzhao, who was held back by the soldiers of the Wild Lion Army, now finally understood that Ye Ying's strategy was correct, so he had no resistance in his heart, and began to cooperate with everyone to rush up. At the same time, he also commanded a small number of family members who followed behind, and cooperated with Ye Ying's soldiers to kill the enemy together.

The addition of Jia Ding slightly relieved the pressure on Ye Ying's soldiers, but the situation they faced was still very critical, because there were more and more bandits surrounding them.

There are also flames on the steep slopes now, but these fires are not set by bandits, and the dry grass and dry branches on these slopes are lit by the soldiers under the two captains of Ye Ying, Zhang San and Li Si.

Zhang San and Li Si were experienced veterans, and when they saw that there were more and more bandits on both sides, they had people set fire to the dead branches on both sides of the steep slope. This has two advantages: the smoke can provide cover for the rushing team, and although the fire is not large, it can also effectively prevent the bandits from uniting.

Although the terrain was at a disadvantage, with the fierceness of several martial arts realm masters and the bravery of the soldiers under them, Ye Ying and the others quickly broke through a long distance upward.

But then, their path was not easy, because more and more bandits were blocking their path.

Ye Ying knew that time was precious now, so his subordinates showed no mercy, and they could kill a bandit with almost one or two knives, but the next moment, the big knife he swung out was blocked by a ghost-headed big knife.

Ye Ying looked up and saw that the owner of the long axe had a long scar on his face, it was the bandit Chen Tianshun who was still standing on a high place just now.

"Sweep the leaves in the wind!"

"Escape the wind!"

Seeing Chen Tianshun with a scarred face in front of him, Ye Ying did not hesitate to use the two-style trick of the Stone Breaking Heaven Breaking Sword Technique.

Chen Tianshun didn't expect that the young man in front of him, who still looked a little childish, would have such a subtle move, and he would be killed in embarrassment as soon as he came up.

"Brothers, I only need to hold a pillar of incense, and the victory will be ours." Even though he was at a disadvantage, Chen Tianshun still had no intention of retreating, and he still beckoned to several bandits beside him.

"Brothers, you must break through here as soon as possible and show off all your best skills!" Ye Ying shouted, and tried to kill Chen Tianshun again.

Chen Tianshun's force was slightly inferior to Ye Ying, but he occupied favorable terrain at this time and always focused on defense, so even though he fell behind, he could also make Ye Ying unable to advance.

The two sides continued to stand together, but at this time, Chen Tianshun discovered a phenomenon that gave him a headache, this young officer of the Mad Lion Army actually adopted the method of fighting for his life. In the face of the ghost-headed broadsword that he attacked, he actually adopted a way of not avoiding it, and just blindly attacked himself.

This time, don't make Chen Tianshun very embarrassed, he really wants to take revenge, but he doesn't plan to die with others, so he has to withdraw the moves he used several times, just halfway through use, to dodge or block Ye Ying's attack.

In this way, Chen Tianshun, who was already at a disadvantage, was in an even more difficult situation, and he was accidentally swept in the waist by Ye Ying's long knife, and he soon felt a sharp pain.

"Oh no, I can't leave my life here today!" Such a thought flashed in Chen Tianshun's heart, and most of his courage was lost, and he subconsciously moved to the side, allowing Ye Ying to break through

Some bandits beside Chen Tianshun obviously didn't expect the enemy to break through so quickly, they didn't have any psychological preparation, and in a hurry, their defense line was quickly torn open.

"Everyone, keep up!" Of course, Ye Ying couldn't let go of this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, and shouted at the people behind him while struggling to kill the bandits around him, trying to widen the gap.

Qi Jiao, Shan Fu, Zhao Hu and others had a very tacit understanding with Ye Ying, they came quickly, resisted the bandits who surrounded them, kept the gap that Ye Ying had finally opened, and let the people behind them rush up the hill through the gap.

With the efforts of Ye Ying and the others, the Wild Lion Army finally escorted Lu Tianzhao and rushed through the bandits' defense line, climbed to the top of the steep slope, and saw a slightly gentle area above.

In front of the area, some bandits were carrying large tree trunks sawn into sections and large boulders in the direction of the steep slope.

At this time, Ye Ying and the others figured out why the bandits did not take the initiative to attack for a long time, because they wanted to wait for these giant trees and stones to be successfully moved.

Thinking of this, everyone couldn't help but be afraid for a while, but fortunately everyone rushed up before the enemy prepared these things, otherwise, everyone would have become a living target for these stones and giant trees on the mountain road.

"Stop them!" Seeing that these soldiers of the Wild Lion Army wanted to get into a dense forest on the hillside with their enemies, Chen Tianshun was in a hurry, and the opportunity for revenge that he had spent so much effort to find could not let Lu Tianzhao escape again.

Hearing Chen Tianshun's order, the bandits who were carrying stones and giant trees hurriedly dropped the things in their hands, picked up the weapons on the side, and rushed towards Ye Ying and the others.

At this time, the bandits who were originally on the steep slope also rushed up in a steady stream, and their purpose was obvious, wanting to surround the group with the advantage of numbers.

"Quick, let's rush over!" Ye Ying gave the order again.

But before Ye Ying's words fell, three people had already rushed to those bandits who were carrying wood and stones and fought with them. These three people are Qi Jiao, Shan Fu and Zhao Hu.

Qi Jiao was anxious, as soon as he saw these bandits in front of him blocking the way, he couldn't help but rush forward, and Shan Fu and Zhao Hu, of course, didn't want to let go of the opportunity of this big battle, so they didn't hesitate to follow.

The bandits who carried wood and rock, since they were assigned to do the logistical tasks of sawing wood and moving stones, were because they were not the most elite fighters.

Such bandits, as soon as they saw the fierce Lion Army soldiers who were not afraid of death, they were first shorter in momentum, and as soon as they engaged, several people were killed, and their morale fell to the bottom, and they were rushed by Ye Ying's people without too many twists and turns.

It didn't take long for Ye Ying and his party to successfully break through the encirclement of the bandits and enter the dense forest, finally out of danger temporarily.

At this time, Ye Ying had time to tidy up the team, and then he found out that he had actually lost two soldiers, Ye Ying couldn't help but feel very sad, these brothers who had just fought side by side were now separated by yin and yang.

But Ye Ying also knew that now was not the time to be sad, the bandits would soon chase after them, and now he had to hurry up and get rid of these guys.
