Chapter 53: Death Horizontally and Vertically
Xiao Feng took a bow and crossbow in his hand and took aim, and quickly thought about countermeasures.
There were more than 50 soldiers on the other side, all of them fat and strong, and the machetes in their hands were sharpened, making it clear that they were prepared.
There are more than a dozen good horses behind the soldiers, presumably for pursuit.
Look at the people in your own team, more than a dozen soldiers who have never been on the battlefield and were forcibly pulled over to serve, plus a coachman in his sixties.
Obviously there are more than a dozen people, and they are divided into three or four small gangs, and there is no cohesion.
Can't fight.
It is estimated that there is no need to fight, the other party stops here, and the machete is slashed, and they all have to run.
Xiao Feng glanced at it, and all the people in the convoy were trembling and couldn't go together, and the pestle was used as a stake in place.
He really couldn't understand how to get such a group of goods to escort the goods.
Now is the first thing to stabilize the morale of the army.
At worst, there are more than a dozen people who can resist a little, and if they all run out, he can use a broken crossbow in his hand to use a fart.
One pair of fifty, Zhuge didn't even have a crossbow.
After confirming that the weapon in the opponent's hand was only a machete, Xiao Feng took a deep breath, stood out, pointed at the gang with a crossbow, and shouted:
"The government transports goods, and don't approach the idlers."
"Whoever comes closer, shoot and kill!"
When the team members heard this, they all stared at Xiao Feng with eyes like fools.
There are more than 50 people, and we can't get together a total of 20 people, and you still threaten others? Where does the courage come from?
The soldiers were stunned for a moment, they didn't understand what they meant, there seemed to be an interpreter in the team, and they relayed it to the soldiers, and suddenly laughter came.
Then more than fifty people pointed at him, not knowing what they were talking about.
Anyway, you don't have to think about it to know that it's not a good word.
Seeing that the other party was gradually approaching, everyone on the other side looked at each other, and almost wrote the word "escape" on their faces.
"Fan Bing and the Great Zhou Dynasty have always been feuds, and when they meet, they will not only cut off the goods, but also destroy them."
"That's right, before the other party fully chases after us, let's run."
"Yes, yes, run!"
Before the soldiers approached, there was a momentum of collapse on their side.
Xiao Feng didn't think about it, and aimed his bow and crossbow at the head of the guy who screamed.
"Bang!"
The man had barely taken a step when a crossbow arrow had pierced his throat.
It was one of the four people who had been inserted by the captain.
Xiao Feng snorted coldly: "Whoever dares to run, whoever will end up with the same fate as him!" ”
"You're all in charge of escorting, you all know what's in the car, right?"
"What about running back? It's not the same as a death. ”
Xiao Feng's words made the soldier Ding Shengsheng, who still had the idea of escaping, stop.
"I know most of you were sent by Liu Cheng, kill me, right?"
"Guess how those soldiers are stuck here on time?"
"In order to kill me alone, more than fifty people need to be used?"
"It's not a pig, think about it, you have received benefits from others, and you still know so many things that you shouldn't know? Will Liu Cheng let you live? ”
After Xiao Feng finished speaking, regardless of the attitude of these people, he raised the bow and crossbow in his hand.
Shoot all the remaining six arrows as fast as you can.
Six soldiers fell in a row, which made the other side panic and jump into the ditch in a hurry.
The bow and crossbow in Xiao Feng's hand had long since run out of arrows, but he still held it, and the deterrent effect was far greater than the actual effect.
"What the are you doing standing there? Do you want to be a log, pestle it and let the other side come and cut it? Xiao Feng yelled at the stunned soldiers.
After he roared like this, everyone suddenly sobered up, and those who should pick up their weapons again picked up their weapons, and those who should hide hid.
In an instant, Xiao Feng invisibly became the backbone of their hearts.
Xiao Feng didn't expect to meet so many people on this trip, he didn't bring many arrows, and took advantage of the other party's daze to reload the arrows.
The two gangs confronted each other quietly.
The soldiers had an advantage in numbers, and they didn't seem to be very willing, so there was a small commotion, and a few people came out cautiously approaching again.
The boundary of the two gangs of fire was a large road, with a towering cliff on one side and a dry ditch running parallel to the road on the other.
Both sides hid around the corner of the ditch.
With the advantage of superior geography, the opponent does not have long-range weapons in addition.
The crossbow machine in Xiao Feng's hand became the most deterrent weapon for a while.
He seized the opportunity to shoot, and after a while, all the arrows he brought were gone, and seven or eight more people died on the side of the soldiers.
Niu Dehao looked up at Xiao Feng's resolute and delicate face, rolled his throat a few times with difficulty, and scolded in a low voice:
"Damn, what's this guy's background? Evil, too evil. ”
"Did you just scare the other side by your own strength?"
Fan Bing didn't dare to move anymore, and obediently hid in the ditch, gurgling and not knowing what he was discussing.
Xiao Feng looked at the road and then at the carriage.
I wondered if I should run away.
The old horse couldn't run very fast, they still had to carry the goods, and they couldn't run far before they had to catch up.
If they lose their goods, they can't outrun a four-legged horse on two legs.
Neither advance nor retreat.
Xiao Feng lifted his sleeves and looked at the sleeve arrows, and the fifteen sleeve arrows did not move, which may have a surprise effect at a critical time.
"There are more people on the other side than us, and several more people have died, so we will definitely not give up."
"When I really want to fight, I'll rush to the other side."
"Cover me, or we'll all die here today."
Xiao Feng called everyone in the convoy over and instructed.
Those people have no right to refuse, and they have to agree even if they are reluctant.
Xiao Feng thought for a while, and then asked the soldiers:
"Did Liu Cheng send you to the convoy to kill me?"
The soldiers shook their heads like rattles.
Xiao Feng smiled and pointed outside, "Those soldiers are obviously coming at us to kill people." ”
"At such a time, you still have to work hard for Liu Cheng?"
One of the soldiers stepped forward and hesitated:
"My lord, it's true that someone asked us to kill you, but we really don't know if it's Liu Cheng."
"On the night we left, someone called a few of us together."
"One person gave ...... five taels of silver, and then he said, "Get rid of your men...... Go back and reward fifty taels. ”
"The people who gave us an account from beginning to end never showed up."
Xiao Feng nodded, it's time now, and he won't cheat.
In a moment, the sound of horses' hooves behind them sounded, and everyone's faces turned pale.
The front and back are pinched, and there is no half of life.
It was the convoy that was transported behind to catch up.
There were five convoys escorting the goods, and the one they were in was the first to go.
It mainly plays a pathfinder role.
In order to prevent this from happening today.
The four carriages behind stopped one after another, and the coachman was about to stop, but he saw that the shadows in the gutter opposite were full of people.
was anxious to turn the horse's head and leave, no matter how Xiao Feng shouted, he still ignored it.
Before he could get off his horse, there was a shout from the other side, and all the soldiers came to kill this side together.
No matter how powerful the bow and crossbow are, it can only kill and injure one person at a time.
Fan Bing naturally thought of this.
Xiao Feng picked up the machete of the man who was killed, stood on the carriage and shouted:
"Brothers, both horizontal and vertical are dead, fight with that group of soldiers!"
