Chapter 284: Painting the Halberd Pointing to the Sky
The cold night rain slapped on Abu's cheeks, and he was wearing only a single coat without a coat, which looked very thin, but his whole body was full of qi and blood, and the meridians were flowing with hot blood, and the chill could not invade his body for half a minute.
He squinted, the halberd was held in his hand, and several edges with a peculiar shape pointed straight to the sky, and the rain formed a circle of splashes under his feet, scattering in all directions.
At this moment, two sergeants with steel swords at their waists came out of each end of the alley, they were wearing armor made of fine iron, their faces were blurred in the night, but then a burst of silent lightning illuminated the rain dripping from their bodies, bringing out a bit of cold aura.
The faint sound of thunder came from far away, and when it reached Abu's ears, it was no longer very real.
Abu knew that they were not ordinary people, and only those with cultivation could catch up with him at such a fast speed, Tang Guo was full of talents, even if it was a patrol battalion in charge of public security, it could crouch tiger, hide the dragon.
They appeared from the alley almost at the same time, I don't know if it was a pre-agreed agreement or a coincidence, but at least Abu had no way out now.
"Is the way closed...... Abu muttered in a low voice.
The wind, rain, thunder and lightning became more and more intense, but Abu still did not move, but the halberd on the ground trembled slightly, and he slowly held his palm to the middle.
This is the position where he can do his best.
When he had to face four cultivators who didn't know the depth at once, he didn't have much confidence.
But now that you have reached the cliff, it is not easy to think about it again, instead of crying on the edge of the cliff, it is better to try to see if you can be brave, jump down, and see if it is a mountain that can fall to your death, or a waterhole that can survive.
Of course, this sentence was not thought of by himself, but by Gao Changgong.
Many people think that Gao Changgong is a general star who fell from the sky, and what kind of heroic feat it is for eight thousand Qingzhou ghost horses to sweep through the territory of Tang Kingdom, but few people know that at the beginning, he even felt that he didn't even have a chance of winning thirty percent.
But now that he has been appointed as the general of Jing Wu, there are some things that have to be sent on the bow.
Abu thinks that he is not as strong as Gao Changgong, and he does not have Gao Changgong's wanton flying heart from beginning to end, but his poor family background and the earnest teachings of the famous teachers in Taixue Hall have already imperceptibly carved a layer of unyielding and perseverance on his muscles and bones.
Of course, this kind of unyielding does not mean that he is a fool, he would rather die than be unyielding, although he is heroic, but it must be at the necessary moment, if he dies so inexplicably, I am afraid that when the death day comes, Gao Changgong will not even bother to spill a glass of wine on his grave, and maybe he will scold a few words of idiot lack of heart.
"Still thinking about rushing out. Abu made a secret decision, and at the same time he squinted slightly at the closed courtyard door, as long as he could attract attention, she would be safe hiding inside, in that case, what else did he have to worry about?
At the mouth of the alley, the four cultivators of the Ding'an City Patrol Battalion finally started running, their black boots were already soaked in the rush like Abu, but their neat and firm steps were still so unstoppable.
It was only a distance of more than ten zhang, which was only a few short breaths for them, and when they were only three zhang away from Abu, the long knives in the hands of the four of them were suddenly unsheathed at this moment!
The long knife was forged by the blacksmith of the Tang Kingdom with some painstaking efforts, and it was silent, but it could flash a cold white light in this rainy night.
The rain slapped against the narrow and smooth ridge of the knife, but it could not stick into pieces, and could only slide down the blade.
Tick. Tick.
Smack. Smack.
In Abu's ears, the sound of rain dripping and the sound of boots stepping on puddles of water were connected and rushed straight ahead.
But hidden deep in it were two sharp whistling sounds that sounded in the midst of thunder!
Crossbow bolts!
In the controversy of the former Chaoji School Palace, it is not only academics and ideas that keep pace with the times, but also machines such as crossbows, which are no longer uncommon in the world's armies.
Jing Wu's Qingzhou ghost cavalry and Mo family's black cavalry can be said to be equipped with crossbows, although Tang Guo's research on crossbow machines is not as strong as the two ones, but they are also widely equipped in the army.
Although the sergeants of the patrol battalion generally do not wear crossbow arrows, since these are the cultivators among them, the specifications of their equipment are obviously much better than those of ordinary sergeants, and the hand crossbow is naturally a cold killing weapon in addition to the long knife.
Abu had been mentally prepared for this, so he didn't panic too much in his heart, his eyes opened sharply, and he saw that the arrows of the black crossbow arrows were constantly piercing the rain curtain, and as he took a breath, almost filling his lungs, he let out a low cry, and the green tendons in his hands suddenly burst out!
Raise the halberd!
Halberd!
The halberd, which was more than one person high, immediately brought a whirlwind in his hand, smashing the raindrops in a continuous line, and even directly in the air, an oncoming crossbow arrow flew into the air!
Then a second bolt came in front of Abu, and he threw out his halberd, which struck the pole of his halberd, and hit the iron-clad place, and with a clang, the bolt broke into two pieces and fell into the mud.
Abu jumped up and caught the halberd that had turned half a circle in the air, his legs sank, and with a loud shout, the halberd actually rotated in the opposite direction with his arms, turned in a different direction, and slashed out from top to bottom.
The halberd was heavy, and in Abu's hands, it was even more like a giant axe, and it was amazingly powerful, even if they gave the two people in front of them ten more dares, they didn't dare to take it so hard, so the two of them didn't hesitate to stomp on the ground with their legs, and with the power of pushing back from the ground, they flew backwards backwards.
The halberd in Abu's hand still didn't stop, he gritted his teeth, raised a kick, took another step forward, and relied on the length of the halberd, just caught up with the two people who retreated, and slashed down again!
The two of them were already unavoidable in the middle of the retreat, although they faced such a brave blow from Abu, it was inevitable that they would be a little flustered if they were ordinary people in the rivers and lakes, but they were obviously not those people in the rivers and lakes who did not enter the stream, but the elite of the patrol battalion.
They glanced at each other, and the long knives in their hands shook in perfect understanding, overlapping each other, and heading towards the halberd.
The three of them slashed three times in a row in just one breath, and the six sonorous and powerful metal collisions were almost in a line, and Abu's halberd was also blocked by this force, a little slower.
But Abu's blood swelled all over his body, and even so, he still slashed the halberd out with a loud shout.
In the rain, two figures flew upside down, and soon fell to the ground, rolling on the ground.
Abu didn't take advantage of the victory, not because he didn't want to, but because right behind him, the other two knives were already entangled like snake letters.
Since the patrol battalion of Ding'an City was responsible for the security of the whole city, it was natural that they would rarely face the cultivators, and in many years, they had already summed up a set of experiences and studied a set of offensives.
First use the crossbow arrow to force the enemy to resist, and then the long knife followed closely for the first round of attack, no matter what the result of the first round of attack, the person who just used the hand crossbow will be entangled again at the same time, for the second round of attack, the third round of attack is almost airtight, without giving the enemy half time to breathe, I don't know how many masters are planted under such an offensive.
However, Abu is not defenseless, Jing Wu and Tang Guo are old rivals, and naturally any tactics against them have been studied, Abu studied in the Taixue Hall, and naturally he also dabbled in it, the reason why he spared no effort to split the two at the beginning was to seek a little space, so that he could have time to deal with the other two long knives.
Two long knives broke through the rain curtain and instantly arrived in front of him, one slashing at the neck, and the other stabbing under the crotch very insidiously.
And Abu's castration has been exhausted, and the new force has not been born, no matter how you look at it, it looks like he is about to die under the long knife.
However, Abu's arm was slightly raised, but he had already lifted the halberd horizontally, and without turning around, he directly thrust it back with the back end of the long stick.
At the length of his halberd, the sergeant knew full well that the stick would stab his throat before slashing with his long knife, and although it wasn't the sharp end, the force of such a blow was enough to shatter his throat.
As a last resort, he withdrew his long knife and slashed at the end of the long stick that had stabbed straight at him.
Abu suddenly took two steps forward, took advantage of the situation to turn around, the halberd suddenly rotated with his body, and stabbed the sergeant under his crotch with a knife in the posture of sweeping thousands of troops, only to hear a muffled snort, even though the sergeant reacted extremely quickly and had already used the long knife to block the halberd, but the power contained in the halberd still made him suffer a small loss.
Almost in a moment, Abu had already forced the four of them back, but at the moment he was not too happy, in his opinion, this was just a round of temptation, and the result of this round of temptation was not good for him......
