Chapter 5 Into the Urn
The sky was gradually darkening, and the mountain bandits were still chasing frantically on the official road of Broken Stone Mountain.
Lao Gao and Ao Yu have each paid a pill, and they have come and gone five or six times from the encirclement of the mountain bandits, although the vitality has been consumed a lot, but they have also successfully led hundreds of mountain bandits along the official road.
At this time, Tang Da, the leader of the mountain bandits behind, said with some confusion while chasing: "Why do I think something is wrong with these four monks? They seem to be deliberately luring us, and there are no other ambushes ahead?"
Lao Wu pursed his lips at this time and sneered: "Brother Tang, if you are afraid, go back, they are now at the end of the crossbow, and if you surround them again, my brothers will be able to easily take them down, as long as you don't rob your brothers at that time, don't let us hurt the peace." ”
Tang Da said coldly: "Lao Wu, I took care of you so much for the sake of your master's face, if you talk in front of me, don't blame me for turning my face." As he spoke, he snorted coldly and sped up to chase forward.
Lao Wu's face turned slightly pale, he knew that his strength was too far from Tang Da, and he was far from the ability to compete with him, so he had to endure it in his heart, and shouted behind him: "Brothers, hurry up and keep up." ”
At this time, the two bandits were about a mile or so behind, and they were secretly following two people, who were the merchants who had been following Qin Wen and the four from Dujiao Town.
The two of them saw that the mountain bandits had been chasing the four of Qin Wen, and they also ran for a while, seeing that the four of Qin Wen had entered and exited from the encirclement of the mountain bandits, the mountain bandits were still in hot pursuit, and they couldn't help but look at each other, and one of them asked a little younger: "Big brother, what should we do now?" Mr. asked us to follow the target, and now that there is such a situation, should we go back and report it." ”
The older one hesitated for a moment, and then spoke: "Mr.'s scholar told us when he came, as long as the goal does not deviate from the official road, other things don't matter, we just need to keep an eye on them." ”
The younger monk nodded in confusion, and then the two of them continued to fly, behind the bandits.
Turning a mountain beam, the four of Qin Wen broke away from the encirclement of the mountain bandits again, and Xiang Hao inside was a little impatient, so he opened his mouth and complained: "Where is this Xuanxuan heavy armor ambushed? Why hasn't it come out now, in case we alarm a group of mountain bandits again, we will be in trouble." ”
Lao Gao continued to output his vitality, and said with a slight muttering on his face: "Now we haven't passed half of this broken stone mountain, as far as I checked the terrain at the time, the place where they ambushed is within a hundred miles ahead, and the time for another stick of incense should come, and now the sky is getting dark, which is beneficial to us." ”
At this time, Tang Da faintly felt that something was wrong, and asked the mountain bandits around him: "This is already the territory of the bearded man, why didn't he do it?"
The mountain bandit shook his head and said: "When I crossed the mountain beam just now, I paid attention to it, and I didn't see the sentry guards patrolling the mountain under the bearded man, maybe they have other business to do today." ”
Lao Wu heard Tang Da's words at this time, so he interjected: "The bearded man doesn't know what he has done these days, a few days ago, one of my subordinates found a caravan in Fucheng to pass by, I asked him to discuss setting up an ambush on his territory, he just didn't agree, as a result, I could only wait until the caravan passed through Unicorn Town, although the goods were taken, but also lost a lot of my brothers." ”
Tang Da squinted at him at this time, and said with a somewhat gloomy voice: "Why haven't I heard about this caravan?"
Lao Wu suddenly thought that he had lost his words, so he hurriedly smiled and said: "Brother Tang, haven't you been sending people to pay attention to the situation in Jingshan Pass? The oil and water of that caravan are really shallow, I was afraid that you would not look for it, so I didn't look for you." ”
Tang Da sneered twice and said, "Are you afraid that I will give you less share." ”
Lao Wu shook his head with an embarrassed face, in fact, he really thought so in his heart, although he was the youngest in Shili in this Broken Stone Mountain, but there was a monk in the Xuanling Realm behind him as a master, and several other big leaders didn't dare to bully him too much, but this Tang Da and his master also had some old friends, and from time to time they overwhelmed his head, and Lao Wu also dared to be angry but didn't dare to speak.
Seeing that Lao Wu had no interface, Tang Da couldn't help but show a little hesitation on his somewhat gloomy face: "Could it be that the bearded man has gotten some important news during this time? The spies at Jingshan Pass didn't say anything about the army's actions during this time?
Lao Wu knew that he was talking about the task of clearing the army, so he shook his head and said, "No, if there were, I wouldn't have gone down the mountain for a long time." ”
At this time, on the cliff of the hillside, two figures were revealed, looking at the mountain bandits chasing below, a big man with a beard on his face asked casually: "Who are these people?"
A slender middle-aged man in the back hurriedly said: "It should be Tang Da and Lao Wu's people, according to the brothers' inquiry, this time it was Lao Wu's people who stepped on it, but the idea just hired Tang Da's people, so the two of them met together." ”
The beard groaned for a while and said: "Forget it, Lao Wu has always respected me, and besides, I will also give his master some face, you go down to gather the brothers, listen to my orders tomorrow, and take down the cottage of Tang University." ”
The middle-aged man hesitated a little and said: "Big brother, this Tang Da's subordinates are not inferior to us, although it is a sudden attack, I am afraid that Zuihou will still lose both." ”
The bearded man smiled slightly: "A team of Xuanxuan crossbow heavy armor, I saw their power when I was in the army, how many people do you think this Tang Da can come out after breaking into the ambush circle?"
The middle-aged man hesitated for a moment at this time and said, "Big brother, do you mean that those Qi soldiers who have been ambushed on our territory in the past few days are just for Tang Da and Lao Wu?"
The bearded man shook his head and said: "I don't know what it is for, let's just prepare, once the Xuanxuan Heavy Armor hits Tang Da and Lao Wu today, it will be a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity for us." ”
The middle-aged man also understood at this time, and immediately nodded in agreement: "Yes, big brother, I'll go and get the brothers ready now." After speaking, he flew down the mountain, leaving only a beard on the mountain and gently rubbing his stubble with his palm, with a faint smile on his face.
In the valley with a radius of more than 100 miles under the cliff, the winding official road passes through the middle, and there are more than 100 sturdy soldiers lurking behind the small hillside on both sides.
The officer was just about to give an order, but when he heard the hesitant voice of his subordinate, he asked, "But what?"
"The subordinates just saw a large group of mountain bandits following behind the target, there should be about a few hundred people, the team is right, what should we do?"
The officer frowned slightly, hesitated slightly, but immediately made a categorical gesture and said: "Set up the formation, kill all the people who enter the formation, and remember that no one can slip through the net." ”
The soldier who came back to report the news nodded hurriedly and said, "Yes." Then he took out the crossbow on his body, pressed a crossbow arrow towards the sky, and a sharp sound of arrows breaking through the air immediately woke up all the soldiers in the valley.
Immediately afterwards, all the soldiers quickly stood in their positions, and a blue light flashed, and the soldiers' bodies were covered with a layer of cyan aura armor, and then all the black crossbows were also buckled with cold and cold crossbow arrows.
A herald stood up from behind the hillside, waving the flag in his hand twice, and the flags on the hands of more than a dozen soldiers gathered outside flashed a little spiritual light, and gradually a faint spiritual mist appeared on the official road.
Lao Gao, who was in the array, looked at the terrain of the valley, and his face suddenly became solemn and said, "The ambush of the Xuanxuan Heavy Armor is here. As he spoke, he and Ao Yu slowed down their vitality and retreated into the encirclement of the mountain bandits again before entering the formation.
Hundreds of mountain bandits surrounded the four of them and suddenly broke into the formation of the Xuanxuan heavy armor, and the team shouted coldly at this time: "Shoot." ”
Suddenly, hundreds of crossbow arrows glowing with cyan aura shot into the official road under the hillside, and there was a period of chaos in the formation surrounded by the heavy armor of the Xuanxuan crossbow, and after a round of volleys, dozens of mountain bandits on the periphery were shot down on the official road.
Lao Wu, who was besieging the Qin Wen four-person formation, was also stunned at this time, and hurriedly asked, "What's going on outside?"
Tang Da reacted quickly, looked at the mountain bandits who were shot dead on the periphery and said: "We are in ambush, it is the crossbow of the officers and soldiers, grandma's, I said why don't the bearded people go down the mountain, it turns out that there are officers and soldiers ambushed here." ”
As soon as his words fell, another round of arrow rain struck, and dozens of mountain bandits on the periphery suddenly fell, and Lao Wu didn't care about the four Qin Wen who were trapped in the middle at this time, and asked loudly: "What kind of spirit arrow is this, so powerful?"
Among them, a few mountain bandits in the Xuanshi realm recognized the heavy armor of the Xuancrossbow, so they said in horror: "It's the Xuancrossbow, everyone rush out." ”
Between the two breaths, a round of arrow rain came as scheduled, and seeing that he was about to be shot to death in the formation, Tang Da said loudly at this time: "Everyone rush forward together, let's go out of the formation first." ”
The mountain bandits trapped in the formation also understood the current situation, staying in the formation was certain death, and only by rushing out could there be a glimmer of hope, so they gave up the four Qin Wen people who were surrounded in the middle, took out all the magic weapons they could defend, and rushed outside as hard as they could.
At this time, Lao Gao looked at Xiang Hao, who was still manipulating the array, and said: "Young master, this array can't resist the Xuanxuan, don't rush too fast, let's follow the mountain bandits." ”
