Chapter 831: A cold sweat
Ho!
Hundreds of elite soldiers rushed out of the fleeing swift bandit army, gathered in the middle of the streets of South Street, full of bravery.
Stampede Pedal Stamped.......
At this time, Zhao Quan and Zheng Cai had already rushed to the place where the guard battalion was assembled, and seeing these guard battalions gathered here, Zhao Quan asked: "It's impossible to do anything, why don't you retreat!"
Hu Qiang, the leader of the guard battalion, roared: "The two leaders take the first step and protect the city lord. The cavalry brigade behind us is too fast, and we are here to resist for a while to ensure the safety of the city lord. ”
"City Lord?" Zhao Quan and Zheng Cai asked with puzzled expressions, the title of this city lord made the two of them confused.
Cheng Huai is obviously only the deputy city lord, where is the city lord, is it ......
Zhao Quan and Zheng Cai's hearts suddenly flashed a thought that shocked them!
Could it be that Cheng Huai had already killed the city lord, Zhao Quan and Zheng Cai thought of this possibility in their hearts at the same time.
After all, in the sand thieves, there are countless things like the people below killing the boss and replacing him, so when they heard the commander of the guards call Cheng Huai the city lord, Zhao Quan and Zheng Cai naturally thought of it in their hearts.
Fortunately, the commander of the guards quickly explained why Yang Zongwei and them died, otherwise, Zhao Quan and Zheng Cai would have more associations in their hearts.
"No, Lord City, they were assassinated by the assassins sent by Lin Lixuan!" said the guard commander.
"Oh, it turned out to be an assassin!" Zhao Quan and Zheng Cai said in unison, and their hearts were finally relaxed.
Because, both of them are the henchmen of the city lord Yang Zongwei, so if Cheng Huai ascended to the throne of the city lord by killing Yang Zongwei, the two of them would be very dangerous.
No careerist will let the henchmen of the previous one survive well, so when the time comes, Zhao Quan and Zheng Cai will only have one way, and that is a dead end.
Now that Yang Zongwei was assassinated by the assassins, in this case, the relationship between Zhao Quan and Zheng Cai and Cheng Huai is not so tense, as long as the two of them throw themselves at Cheng Huai, they can still be accepted by Cheng Huai, after all, there is no hatred between the two.
"Wait, what you just said was 'City Lord and them', could it be that in addition to the City Lord being assassinated, there are other people who have been assassinated!" Zheng Cai heard it very clearly at this time.
"Yes, in addition to the assassination of the city lord this time, the big leaders who participated in the banquet were also all assassinated, and now the wind city can do it, only one of us Chenghuai City Lord is left!"
"Alas..... , this is really ......" Before the rest of the words were finished, Zhao Quan and Zheng Cai saw more than a dozen figures suddenly flying above their heads.
As soon as they saw these dozen figures, Zhao Quan and Zheng Cai chuckled in their hearts, and they realized that they had just spent too much time talking to the commander of the guards, and the enemy behind them had already chased and killed.
"Stride, stride, stride!" Before Zhao Quan and Zheng could make any decisions, the sound of horses' hooves came from behind them.
Zhao Quan and Zheng Cai turned around to look at them with dark faces, only to see that less than a hundred meters away from them, a phantom like infinite sand surged forward, and a fierce murderous aura came directly to their faces.
Looking at the dozen or so strong men standing behind them with murderous faces, Zhao Quan and Zheng knew that they couldn't escape this time.
Since there was no escape, Zhao Quan and Zheng Cai didn't think much about it, they directly raised the spear in their hands, and shouted angrily at the countless soldiers who came to them: "Brothers of the guard battalion, now the time has come for us to make a name for ourselves, as long as we defeat the cavalry in front of us, we can be famous all over the world, so now all the people are standing shields, preparing crossbows, and preparing for battle!"
Hundreds of elite guards around Xian Chenghuai burst into cheers in unison, raising their heavy iron shields high
Bang!
The tips of the three hundred huge iron shields were fiercely inserted into the ground, and then the two overlapped and then came together, and soon formed a huge shield wall, blocking the exit of South Street.
Then the other elite guards behind them squatted down in unison, hiding behind the big shield, and the big crossbow spells made a rattling sound, and the broken crossbow arrows were on the heavy crossbow, and then stretched out from the shield in front of them, exuding the same murderous aura, and they all aimed at the streets of South Street, ready to attack at any time.
When Zhao Quan and the others were ready for battle, they were waiting for Xu Sheng's cavalry team to arrive, but the first to enter Zhao Quan's sight was not Xu Sheng's cavalry team, but the rushing wind thieves who had been defeated before.
"Boss Zhao, it's our own people, what should we do?" a mid-level leader beside him asked urgently.
"Shout at the people in front of you, let them flee to both sides, and then overtake us from the front of the street and shoot directly!" Zhao Quan roared through gritted teeth.
Now is not the time for a woman's kindness, the battle line on their side is just ready, and if there is a loosening due to some rout, the result will not be good.
"Yes, Boss Zhao!"
Soon, the middle-level leader of the guard battalion came to the front and shouted: "All the defeated soldiers, flee to both sides of the street, don't rush into the military formation, otherwise, you will be killed!"
The same warning, repeated on three sides.
However, where did those defeated soldiers of the Wind Thieves have any mind to think about these things at this time, although they heard Zhao Quan's warning, but when people encounter danger, they will subconsciously run towards the safest place in his heart.
And now, in the hearts of these routs, this military formation full of iron shields on South Street is the safest place.
Therefore, a large number of routs still rushed towards Zhao Quan and them, and they didn't pay attention to their warnings at all.
Of course, maybe these routs think in their hearts that they are all in a group, and the people on the other side will not attack them!
It's a pity that these rout soldiers of the Wind Thieves thought wrongly, and when they didn't listen to the warnings and still rushed towards the military formation, Zhao Quan gave the order to shoot with a cold face!
"Shoot!"
Whoa!
Crossbow arrows rained down, bursting out, and instantly came to the eyes of those swift wind thieves.
In their frightened eyes, it shot them directly.
Then, there were screams on the south street, and powerful arrows pierced through the bodies of one after another wind thieves, and the originally empty south street instantly fell down, and the corpses piled up.
Those who saw the opportunity early, and were lucky enough to escape the wind thieves who were alive, couldn't help but curse in their mouths, and scolded the person who gave the order, that is, Zhao Quan's eighteenth generation ancestor, and more than once wanted to have some indescribable things with the women in Zhao Quan's eighteenth generation ancestor, it can be seen that these people have Tong Heng to Zhao Quan, but in the end, they still had to turn around and withdraw from the front of the south street and flee from both sides of the south street.
Stampede Tread........
Countless cavalry rushed like the wind, because of the crossbow arrows fired by Zhao Quan's side, and they were blocked on the street and did not dare to advance, and the desperate wind thieves had to throw down their weapons one after another, shouting "willing to surrender", and then, knelt on the ground on the street.
Xu Sheng, who was in front, looked at the Wind Thieves kneeling on the street with disdain, and after seeing that his path was also blocked, he shouted angrily: "Get out of the way! Get out of the way of me, or you will be killed!"
Don't talk about killing, the whole person of the defeated army was excited, and they hurriedly got up and avoided to the side, and suddenly, the entire street was extremely empty.
Zhao Quan's previous sentence of killing eliminated nearly half of the defeated soldiers, and now Xu Sheng has come to kill again, these wind thieves who have already learned from the past, where will they kill themselves!
At this time, Zhao Quan's military array had been exposed in front of Xu Sheng's eyes!
Looking at Zhao Quan's military formation, and then at Cheng Huai and his party who had gradually disappeared at the corner of the street in the distance, Xu Sheng was anxious in his heart, and immediately shouted: "Kill!"
At the moment when he shouted to kill, Lan Ming (Lin Ze's puppet incarnation), who was following behind Xu Sheng, saw the situation inside Zhao Quan's army formation clearly, and was immediately shocked, and shouted urgently: "Stop! General Xu, stop!"
Xi Yuyu!
Seeing that Xu Sheng and his party were about to rush to kill, heard Lan Ming's shout, they immediately stopped their horses and stopped suddenly.
Xu Sheng looked at Lan Ming who was flying thousands of people with a sullen face, and asked sharply: "General Lan, why do you shout to stop!"
Before coming, Lin Ze specially told Xu Sheng to listen to Lan Ming's opinion, otherwise, where would Xu Sheng, who had already attacked, stop!
Lan Ming, that is, Lin Ze said helplessly: "General Xu, take a closer look, there are heavy crossbowmen guarding the front, the terrain of the south street is so narrow, and there are a large number of corpses of the wind robbers and the wreckage of some houses blocking the way, if our cavalry can rush through like this, wouldn't it let the brothers be sent to death? Even if they are forcibly rushed over, our brothers will suffer heavy losses." General Xu, I know that the leader of your anxious enemy has fled, but the safety of your brothers' lives is the most important thing!"
Lan Ming's words made Xu Sheng feel shocked.
Only then did he raise his head and carefully observe the military array on Zhao Quan's side, and at this look, he found that in the gap of the tight shield array opposite, there were actually sharp arrows sticking out, and the number would not be less than two hundred.
As soon as he saw this, Xu Sheng was shocked into a cold sweat, and it took a long time to come to his senses.
He first thanked Lan Ming, and then asked helplessly: "Is it just to let hundreds of heavy crossbowmen block the pace of my army's advance, and watch the remnants of the wind thieves flee like this?" General Lan, as long as these remnant wind thief generals are eliminated, the remaining wind thief army will no longer be a threat!"
