Chapter 45: The King Doesn't Stay
Hong Fan grabbed the reins and looked ahead.
The valley is no more than 100 meters wide, flanked by gently raised slopes.
The team with the banner of the Chi family stopped in the center of the valley, and had already tied the cart with hemp rope to form a circle, surrounding the camel and the cow and the people and horses.
Outside the formation, six sand bandit knights in light leather armor dragged the dust around in a circle, and on the slope stood more than two dozen minions who dismounted and wielded bows.
On the chariot array, dozens of arrows were sparsely inserted, and two camels with arrows were wailing.
The old man who had seen the leader of the team before was standing on a board car at this time, negotiating with the leading sand bandits.
At this moment, the sound of galloping horses and a thunderous roar came at the same time.
"Yu Kaicheng, your grandfather Hongming is here!"
When the Chi family in the car array saw the arrival of reinforcements, they immediately cheered.
On the other side, the leader of the Muddy Realm bandits named Yu Kaicheng turned pale, and without hesitation, he beckoned his knights to retreat.
When the horses retreated to the top of the slope, the horse team was sweeping past the chariots, kicking up dust like dragons.
Hong Fan suppressed his rapid breathing and leaned over to touch Bentley's neck.
The surface of the body is slightly warm, and there is a slight sweat.
After jogging for three miles, the horses were strong and warmed up sufficiently, which was very suitable for rushing at full speed.
This is exactly what Hong Ming considers.
"Column the horizontal formation, the brothers of the Chi family come up!"
He shook his horse's lance into the air and urged the horse to rush out.
"The enemy is in front, kill with me!"
When the words landed, the remaining thirty-two horsemen immediately divided into three horizontal to follow, and the first row was the eleven people of the Chi family.
Seeing this, the sand bandits made a slight riot.
Seeing that the strength and weakness of the two sides were clear, the seven knights with martial arts in their bodies sank into the back of the slope first, and only the more than 20 minions who had suffered death occupied the high point and blocked them with arrows.
But how could the mere firepower stop the most elite cavalry in Jinhai City?
Of the more than 20 arrows in a round, less than half of them were on target, but they were immediately slashed by the sword.
Seeing the arrow path clearly is just ordinary for the martial artists of the Penetrating Realm.
Hong Fan cut off the arrow that came over his chest, and heard a sound of gold and iron, but it was the knights of the Chi family at the forefront who opened it with their bare hands, shaking away the sharp arrows.
This hand comes from his family's martial arts - Iron Cloth Gong.
This exercise takes into account both inside and outside, and after luck, the flesh and blood will become a steel floating slaughter, and it is not afraid of the slashing of mortal soldiers.
Because of this, Hong Ming named these eleven knights who only wore light armor to be at the top.
The war horse galloped, and the distance of sixty meters was fleeting.
The swords were sheathed, and the lances were pulled out of the wing rings of the saddle.
Immediately the slope was gentle, the long lance was flattened, and the battle was about to break out.
At the back of the formation, Hong Fan lowered his body with a horse lance, wrapped in the sound of war drums on all sides, only to feel that all the emotions in his heart were far away.
Then, a sudden drink interrupted his withdrawal.
"Stop!"
Hong Ming tugged on the reins, and the horse under his crotch neighed up.
After him, dozens of horsemen slowed down and braked sharply at the same time, if they were not all elites, they must have been damaged.
"Commander?"
The team in the brave cavalry asked hurriedly.
"No, it's not right."
Hong Ming swung his spear and swung two thin feather arrows.
"These minions are too calming......"
Hearing this, Hong Fan looked at the top of the slope and found that the sand thieves not only did not take advantage of the situation to intensify the attack, but instead stopped their bows and arrows, showing a little overwhelmed.
Some of them couldn't hold on, and they unconsciously looked back at the back of the slope.
"There's an ambush!"
Hong Ming was sure of his judgment, ordered in a low voice, and was the first to turn the horse's head.
"In the end, it was the Hong family's 'Fire Beard King', who actually failed to hit you."
At the top of the gentle slope, there was a loud laugh.
Along the slope, two people came up first.
The first person was a tall and thin bandit leader who had appeared before, and the second person was muscular, burly and tall.
On the side of the two, more than twenty armored knights appeared, followed by fifty or sixty sand bandits armed with heavy bows.
Counting the previous "bait", more than 100 people were dispatched by Haifei.
"'Four-armed Yaksha' Yu Kaicheng, 'Broken Steel' Fang Tianzong ......"
Hong Lie inserted back into the horse lance and said in his mouth, his face solemn.
These two names, Hong Fan, have all seen them in the archives of the instrument supervisor, and they are the two of the three under Wan Guangji.
[With 30 against 100, we will not be opponents......]
Hong Fan judged in his heart.
When the warrior arrives at the breakthrough realm, his combat power is like a tiger after being paired with a short soldier.
In ordinary street fights, even if Jiang Youde is at the bottom of the line, it is very easy to win five gangsters at one time.
But if the latter is armed with swords, guns, bows, and crossbows, the situation is different.
"Withdraw!"
Down the slope, Hong Ming ignored the provocation of the sand bandits, and ignored the panicked Chi family caravan, pulled out the horse and left.
The rear team changed to the front team, and just when the thirty-three people started, there was a dense sound of strings on the slope.
With his back to the rain of arrows, the difficulty of the knight taking care of the war horse increases several times.
One round of shooting poured five horsemen.
The second round was another quadruple ride.
Hong Fan, who was in the back row of the formation and happened to be fine, grabbed the horizontal knife, turned around, and saw the eyes of several knights who had turned over.
Smoke and dust billowed and no one was left behind.
The howling wind tore through the horse's hooves.
Kong Hai, who rode alongside Hong Fan, spun his horse lance and opened an arrow for Bentley's ass.
"Go, you can't save it!"
The man with two arrows stuck in his leather armor shouted.
Hong Fan nodded silently and couldn't help but look back again.
He saw in the distance the first knights who had fallen to the ground being crucified to the ground by arrows.
The last two roared and rushed up the slope, but the iron-clad true qi that had reached its peak only lasted a few seconds before it was broken through.
On the gentle slope, arrows rained down, extinguishing the fire of life one by one.
Sincere!
Hong Fan's blank thoughts were interrupted by the roar of arrows.
On his side, Kong Hai's war horse lost its hind hooves after being hit by an arrow, and was suddenly dragged down by the earth, falling out of the formation in an instant.
At this time, the horse team had run seventy or eighty meters away from the gentle slope and survived three rounds of arrow rain.
At this distance, the minions' arrows were missing, but the sand bandit knights were rushing down the slope after them.
Kong Hai is the one who is ridden by Zhu Yi, and of course the knights of the Li family and the Chi family will not look back.
[Because turning back is gambling on your life......]
A thought flashed through Hong Fan's heart.
In the midst of the lightning, he didn't have time to think through the pros and cons, but he had already pulled up the reins and the horizontal knife in his hand.
Also moving with him was Hong Lie.
The two who turned around looked at each other, and they were a little surprised at each other.
"You save people, I'll cover!"
Hong Lie urged Xuanjiao under his crotch and waved his horse lance to block scattered arrows.
Hong Fan did not hesitate, and instigated Bentley to sweep over Kong Hai and pull him onto the horse.
At the same time, many intangible and insubstantial things also crossed a distance of tens of meters and were captured by the sand world.
[Sure enough, the authority of the Star Monarch can absorb nutrients from suicide......]
Hong Fan thought that he caught a glimpse of a black shadow approaching in his afterglow.
He instinctively stabbed his knife close to his body, only to hear the thud of a hammer on his forearm.
The iron arrow bounced off, leaving a pit on the surface of the knife of "The King Doesn't Stay".
In the distance, the burly Fang Tianzong put down his riding bow, and his face was uneasy.
Turning over the horse's head, Xuanjiao and Bentley spread their hooves and galloped at full speed.
