Chapter 36: The Strange Siege

While the Yang caravan was enjoying a rare quiet night, a bloody battle was being staged in a mountain col more than fifty miles away from them.

At this time, the col had been blocked by a group of people.

The group of people were armed with different weapons and different clothes, and they looked like improvised villagers.

But their momentum is very calm and capable.

And what they stuck in the col was a convoy of about forty or fifty vehicles.

At this time, the carriages in the convoy had been arranged into two circles that were connected end to end, one large and one small, and the small one was encased in the larger one.

And in the middle of the two circles, the dart masters of the convoy are shooting at the people who surround them with crossbow arrows.

On the periphery of the Great Circle, which was across the cart from them, there were some dart masters who were waiting with swords.

Whenever someone intent to step forward, they will wave their weapons mercilessly.

At this time, there were already many corpses lying in front of these dart masters, and the blood had soaked the ground in front of them a little soft and slippery.

But after a while, the ground will once again be frozen by the cold weather.

The viscous blood will quickly freeze into crimson ice crystals.

Some of the corpses on the ground belonged to those besieging the convoy, and some belonged to the convoy dart masters.

But at this time, no one paid attention to who the corpses were, and they only looked at those who were still standing.

"Everyone hold on, we will definitely be able to hold out until the arrival of the government army by relying on the carriage resistance."

A man in the convoy cheered his companions loudly.

Before they were besieged, two of their companions had already ridden their horses out of the siege.

As long as they can hold on a little longer, they will definitely be able to tell the government to ask for reinforcements.

Because their convoy was carrying supplies from the Border Cypriot army.

His encouragement kept all the dart masters motivated.

The reason why there is such a good incentive effect is not only that they see the hope of reinforcements coming, but more importantly, they feel that the strength of the group of people they are facing is not very strong.

More than three hours had passed since they were surrounded, during which time they had attacked several times, but all of them had been repulsed by the convoy's dart masters.

And in the battle, they also paid no small losses.

But to the surprise of all the dart masters, the attitude of these people in the face of casualties is very unsettling.

Because from the beginning of the attack to the present, all these people have been silent.

The dart masters asked each other for their origin as soon as they were surrounded, and were even willing to pay for the road, but these people just looked at them indifferently and did not say a word.

And when they attacked, they still didn't scream, they didn't shout, even if they were wounded, these people still didn't let out a single cry.

They seem to be like puppets without thoughts and emotions.

However, they also knew that the soldiers were attacking from different directions in several directions, that those who were wounded should immediately withdraw from the battle circle and go to the rear of the road, and that they even knew that the corpses of their slain comrades would be dragged back to the rear of the road.

It's just that they are silent the whole time.

The dart masters even suspected that all of them were deaf and mute, but how did so many deaf and mute people communicate and cooperate to divide their forces to attack?

Apparently these people are not deaf and dumb.

At this time, all the people surrounding the convoy withdrew from the battle circle, as if they were recuperating and preparing for the battle below.

"Big darthead, these people look like they're deliberately stalling for time!"

One of the dart masters on the periphery said after kicking away the corpses of the enemy in front of him, clearing a field for him to advance and retreat.

"It's impossible, didn't Ergouzi and Xiaolin rush out of the encirclement to ask for reinforcements, wouldn't these people delay more and more disadvantaged for them."

One of the dart masters next to the big dart head didn't believe what the dart master just said.

"Second child, why do you have this opinion?"

But the big dart head felt that what the second dart head said was a little unusual, and he thought that there might be something that he didn't notice.

"Big brother, have you noticed it, although the time of this group of guys' attack is not fixed, the time for their attack seems to be fixed."

Just now, the second dart head carefully paid attention to the time from the attack to the retreat of these people.

He was surprised to find that the other party's suddenly retreated when it was obvious that he could hurt himself.

This puzzled him, so he observed the opponent's attacks several times in a row, only to find that the time from their attack to retreat was basically the same.

"But it doesn't make sense, are they fighting so many casualties just to play around us?"

The dart master next to the big dart head didn't understand it, and he thought that what the second dart head said should be just a coincidence.

But the big dart head didn't think so, he felt that there must be something strange in this.

"No matter what kind of medicine they sell in their gourds, we just need to keep the convoy in response to all changes."

There is no better way for the big dart head to brake quietly, trying his best to resist the attacks of these guys.

All the people agreed.

While everyone was waiting, the people on the opposite side silently split into several groups and rushed towards them from different directions.

Only this time they didn't split into shares as evenly as the previous ones.

Their number seems to have been randomly distributed this time.

Watching these people slowly change from walking slowly to trotting and finally running all the way, the hearts of the people in the convoy increased rapidly with their speed.

The dart masters in the team quickly adjusted the number of people they defended according to the direction and number of opponents' attacks.

As the men got closer, the dart masters all clenched their weapons and prepared to attack.

Seeing that these people were still more than 20 meters away from the dart masters on the periphery of the convoy, all the dart masters in the inner circle of the convoy wound their crossbow arrows and aimed at the rushing crowd to pull the machine wide.

With the sound of "Xiu Xiu", the feather arrows were shot out by the crossbow arrows.

The crowd that was running scattered from the dense formation like a goddess scattering flowers after the dart masters shot their crossbow arrows.

Although there were some unlucky ghosts who continued to run forward, they were shot by crossbow arrows and fell to the ground.

But most of the people are now all scattered.

After a wave of crossbow arrows from the dart masters, the distance between the crowd and the convoy was only about ten meters.

At this time, the crowd suddenly began to disperse to gather, and the place where the largest number of people gathered was the place where the convoy defense was weaker.

The dart masters had to quickly adjust their defensive layout according to the number of opponents.

But because the other party was already close to the convoy at this time, their speed was a little too late.

As a result, the dart masters could only meet the enemy's attack in this state of hurry.

As soon as I came into contact with the dart masters, I knew that this time they were in big trouble.

Because this time their formation has been completely messed up, and the opponent's number is several times that of their own.

To make matters worse, the dart masters discovered that these guys were not just a wave of people.

Behind these people there was another wave of people rushing towards the convoy.

The battle begins, and the killing is magnificently staged from the moment the swords meet.

When the second dart head parried the slash to his head with his sword, he drew another spear stab in his chest.

At this time, it was too late to return to the sword to block, and he could only subconsciously grab the spear that was attacking him.

Although his left hand was cut by the spear, he still grabbed the spear with his quick reflexes.

I saw that he took advantage of the situation and pulled the man with the gun over with force.

Then he swung his sword and cut off the man's arm.

The splatters of blood sprayed his face in an instant.

He didn't have time to wipe it, and immediately swung his sword at the other person.

The four darts in the other direction were obviously not as lucky as him.

The four dart heads are a master of making guns.

When he didn't enter the dart game, he also made a name for himself in the rivers and lakes with a rotten silver gun, and the people in the rivers and lakes were called "silver gunmen" at that time.

Later, due to getting married and having children, he had to give up his wandering knightly career and join today's Ruihe dart game.

Although he has not left behind his martial arts over the years, and he can be regarded as diligent in training, but in the face of six or seven people besieging him at the same time, he is already invincible with two fists and four hands.

When he pierced one man's chest with a rotten silver gun, the others immediately closed the distance between him and him.

Before he could draw his gun and return to defense, several people on the other side were already brandishing weapons and slashing at him.

His reaction was quick, and in the face of such a dangerous situation, he actually rushed forward, and then a short body spun, and the spear flew with the human wheel pierced in the spear.

With great force, the two who attacked him were swept away by spears.

But the four people on the other side were not affected in the slightest, and his weapon was slashed firmly at the body of the four dartheads.

Although he used his back to withstand the attack of four people in the last moment, the sharp weapon still brought blood lines on his back in an instant.

Before he could swing the silver spear again, the long sword of one of the opponents pierced his body from his back.

The fourth master felt a sudden chill in his chest, as if a cold breath had penetrated his lungs from his back.

Then he felt the lobes of his lungs twitching, and he opened his mouth to say something, but a large amount of blood spilled out of his mouth.

"Fourth!" The big dart head who was fighting a big dart glanced at it and saw that the four dart heads were killed, and immediately shouted angrily.

It's just that at this time, he was still facing the siege of several people and couldn't withdraw to rescue the four darts head, he could only watch his brother die in front of his eyes.

His eyes immediately flushed blood-red, and he swung his broadsword to cut off a spear that had stabbed him.

Then, with a quick swing of his broadsword, he forced his besiegers back.

"Fourth brother! The fourth ······"

The others heard the shouts of the big dart heads and couldn't help but look in the direction of the four dart heads.

He could only watch as the four darts with a long sword in their back knelt on the ground and coughed up blood, and then another person brandished a long knife and cut off his head.

"No ······"

The battlefield echoed with the unwilling shouts of everyone, but this could not prevent the death of the four dartheads.

However, the death of the four darts completely aroused the anger of the darts heads, and they became extremely fierce as if they had been burst out with all their strength.

Their speed suddenly increased a lot, and many of them were no longer dodging the weapons that were slashing at them, they just rushed at each other frantically and waved their weapons to the ground and slashed them to the ground.

At this time, there was only one thought in their minds: to hack each other to death and avenge the four darts heads.

All of a sudden, these unknown people surrounding the convoy were instantly slashed and killed by the dart masters.

Just as the two sides were still slashing at each other, a sharp whistle suddenly came from a distance.

These people, who were still fighting hard, immediately retreated quickly, and they got out of the battle in an instant.

They retreated swiftly and firmly, without the slightest dragging mud and water, and the degree of prohibition of such orders was estimated to be beyond the reach of the army of the Great Yu Dynasty.

Compared to these people, many of the dart masters of the convoy were already red-eyed at this time, and they still chased after them with weapons in their hands despite the truth that the poor man did not chase.

However, they were not able to kill a few more people to pay tribute to the four dartheads and the rest of the convoy who had just died.

Instead, they were swiftly slashed by those who retreated.

"The poor guy didn't chase him!"

Fortunately, the big boss stopped the dart masters who still wanted to catch up in time.

Anger didn't overwhelm his big brain, and reason still made him make the right judgment.

At this time, almost four hours have passed since they were surrounded, and according to the reason, Ergouzi and Xiaolin should have rushed back with rescuers at this time.

And he looked at the sky, and by this time there had begun to glow a faint white light, and it seemed that the night was about to fade, and the sun was about to come out.

As soon as the sky dawned, the rescuers arrived and the guys besieging him would surely be killed, and he would personally cut off the heads of these people to comfort the dead fourth brother and other dart masters.

Shaking off the blood beads on the long knife, they simply cleaned up the bodies of their dead brothers, and the big dart head slowly sat down against the carriage.

Due to the continuous slashing just now, his arm was out of force, and he didn't feel anything when he was fighting just now, but now he felt his arm trembling as soon as he rested.

He hurriedly hid his trembling hands, he didn't want his brothers to see him embarrassed.

At this time, the ground was full of flowing viscous blood.

The dart masters, however, walked unconcernedly on the blood-soaked dirt, and they observed the corpses one foot at a time.

Once they find out that someone is not dead, they will shine on the other person's heart without leaving a sword.

"Big brother, this matter is absolutely abnormal, the other party can retreat so simply, such an order and prohibition This is definitely not something that any hooligan bandits can do, they must be a certain army."

The second dart head raised his eyes and looked at these guys who surrounded him without saying a word.

"I think what you said is very reasonable, although these people's combat power is not strong, but their discipline is definitely only available to soldiers."

The big dart head also felt that the other party was a member of the army.

"Big darthead, is this the legendary Night Wolf Camp?"

A young dart master said tentatively.

"Impossible, the strength of the soldiers of the Night Wolf Battalion is far from being comparable to these people."

Before the big dart head could speak, the second dart head took the lead in denying this view.
