There are a lot of people who want to kill Hua Bushi, and the first thing that comes to mind for this eldest young master is "Heavenly Punishment". As the number one killer organization in the rivers and lakes, "Tianzhu" has always been known for never giving up until the goal is achieved, and they will definitely not give up if they fail to succeed in the assassination in Changsha City that day.

Hua Bushi has always been extremely cautious, especially after returning to the Middle-earth Continent from Okura Island, he is always accompanied by masters like Yang Jiangyi when he goes out, and he is alert and alert, it is not easy for anyone to kill him. Only now that Yang Jiangyi has left, Hua Bushi has chased him into this wilderness, and there are only a few disciples of the Perak Camp around him, which is really the best opportunity to assassinate him, and the "Heavenly Punishment" will definitely not let it go.

At this time, Na Yujie had already finished checking the injured who had fallen to the ground, and said: "Report that the flag commander, Liu An, Xi Bo, and Zhang Sihu are dead, and Yu Hongyi was stabbed in the waist and was seriously injured. ”

Wang Changsheng said: "Young master, see if we return to the camp first......

Hua Bushi said: "Leave the dead, take the wounded, and let's move forward!"

Before they even saw the face of the enemy, the ten disciples of the Perak Battalion had already lost three dead and one wounded, which can be described as a heavy loss. Under such circumstances, it seemed more appropriate to retreat to the camp, but Hua Bushi did not hesitate to make the decision to move forward.

This eldest young master is not desperate, but it is precisely because he wants to save his life that he can only move forward. After leaving the camp, the group had already traveled thirty miles, and the other party was an experienced killer, so he must have expected that Hua Bushi and his party would turn back to the camp after being attacked, so they set up an ambush on the way back.

In fact, the purpose of this round of raids is likely to make them turn around and fall into the trap. Instead, it is likely that the other party did not expect it. Judging from those newly sharpened branches, although the other party is a powerful killer, after all, this assassination opportunity came in a hurry, and the preparation was not sufficient, so he may not be able to do everything.

Wang Changsheng shouted: "Chu Jie, take Yu Hongyi, the disciples of the Three Banners will maintain the formation, and the guards will go forward!"

The wounded man was helped onto the horse, and the seven horses still formed a circle, protecting Hua Bushi in the middle and walking forward.

Although forming a circle formation can guard against hidden weapons, the speed of walking like this will slow down a lot, and after galloping forward for five or six miles, it is impossible to move forward.

Just because in the middle of the mountain road in front of them, there were piles of dead branches and leaves five or six feet high, and before everyone came closer, a little fire suddenly flew out of the forest, and only a "whirring" sound was heard, and the pile of dead branches had been ignited, and the raging flames immediately blocked the entire road.

Everyone had to stop their horses, and Wang Changsheng asked, "Young master, what should I do?"

The road was blocked by flames, and if you wanted to go any further, you had to either extinguish the flames or make a detour. However, such a large pile of dead branches, apparently doused with tung oil, it was not easy to extinguish the fire for a while, and the road was lined with dense forests, although it was possible to barely ride through it, but once in the forest, it was impossible to keep the circle intact, and it would be difficult to deal with it once attacked.

Hua Bushi groaned for a while, and then said: "If we don't leave, we will stay here to defend!"

Wang Changsheng responded: "Yes! Everyone dismount and form a defensive formation." ”

At that moment, everyone dismounted from their mounts and used their horses to block the perimeter, and all the disciples of the Perak camp drew their muskets, the muzzles of which were pointed outward, and in a moment they formed a temporary fortress.

If the refusal to turn around and return to camp seemed quite presumptuous, the current retreat to defend is very conservative, and both decisions are also unexpected. It is precisely because Hua Bushi knows that he is facing an experienced killer, and falling into the other party's calculations will inevitably have no good results, so he deliberately does not follow common sense in everything, and only hopes to disrupt the other party's arrangement.

It was early in the morning, and there was a mist all around, and the shili of the people was not as good as the dark night, and the disciples of the Thunderbolt camp had not practiced the art of listening to the wind and distinguishing the device, and they would suffer very much if they fell into a melee. But Hua Bushi also knew that the morning fog in the mountains and fields would not last, as long as it was half an hour, the fog would dissipate as soon as the sun came out, and at that time, it would be much more advantageous to fight or retreat.

At the same time, from the fact that those opponent killers only attacked with hidden weapons just now and did not show up to attack, it can also be judged that they are still afraid of Wang Changsheng, the disciples of the Thunderbolt Camp. In this case, as long as you stay where you are and don't damage your manpower by the secret attack, the other party may not be sure to kill everyone.

However, the large pile of fire lit by the other party in the middle of the mountain road drove away the dense fog within a radius of more than ten zhang, which could be used.

As soon as the defensive formation was set up, there seemed to be a figure flickering in the woods on the left, and there were two explosions of "bang", but it was two thunderbolt disciples who had already opened fire. But when I heard a rustling sound in the woods, there was no sound, and I don't know if the two shots were fired.

Wang Changsheng shouted: "Only wait for the enemy to rush to within ten zhang before you can shoot, and strive for one shot!"

The disciples of the Perak Battalion are all well-trained in musket shooting, and they are usually sure that they can shoot the enemy from twenty or thirty feet away, but now they can't see far away, and if they only vaguely see the shadow of the enemy and shoot indiscriminately, they are likely to fall into the opponent's trick to lure the enemy and consume ammunition in vain. Wang Changsheng, as the flag commander, had some experience when facing the enemy, and immediately issued an order not to shoot arbitrarily.

Hua Bushi came to the disciple who had been stabbed, squatted down to inspect the injury, but saw that the side of his left waist was pierced by a branch, and there was a wound in the front and back, and a lot of blood had been shed, but fortunately it was not fatal. The eldest young master immediately took out the medicine and the wound wrapping on his body and bandaged this disciple.

But hearing the continuous rustling in the surrounding woods, there seemed to be many figures shaking, but the disciples had already listened to Wang Changsheng's order, but this time no one fired a shot. Sure enough, those shadows only flickered in the distance, not close, and they were all deliberately created by the enemy.

Hua Bushi quickly bandaged the wounds of the wounded, and although this disciple named Yu Hongyi had difficulty moving, he could barely hold a gun and shoot. In this way, there were a total of eight disciples, including Wang Changsheng, and there were two people defending each side of the east, west, south, and north, and the formation was much more stable.

The disciples of the Thunderbolt Camp are equipped with the most advanced muskets in the Western country, and their lethality is by no means comparable to that of ordinary bows and crossbows.

Wang Changsheng said: "Young master, the villain has a fireworks torch, do you want to send a signal for help?"

Hua Bushi looked up at the sky for a moment and said, "The fog in this mountain is too thick, and the distance between here and the camp is too far, they will definitely not see the fireworks signal, and they can only launch it after the fog dissipates." ”

Wang Changsheng responded: "Yes." Now that the sky is already light, it will not be half an hour before the fog will disperse as soon as the sun comes out. ”

Hua Bushi said: "Yes, it's just that this half an hour is not easy to get through." ”

Wang Changsheng said: "Don't worry, the young master, the eight of us are in a formation to defend, they don't dare to rush up, presumably there is no means to resist the musket, we should have no problem guarding for half an hour!"

A wry smile appeared on Hua Bushi's face, and he didn't speak for a while.

The defensive formation formed by the eight disciples of the Perak Battalion was very tight, and if the enemy wanted to get close, he would be shot by the musket, and to resist the musket bullets, he had to have a steel shield, and most of the opponents were not prepared for this, and Wang Changsheng's expectation should be good. If it was just an ordinary killer who came, it would probably be no problem to stick to it for half an hour like this, but the other party is "Heavenly Punishment", and the result is difficult to say.

Although the disciples of the Perak Camp have sharp muskets, this alone may not be able to stop the killers who are not afraid of death, and they have not practiced superior kung fu, and if they are bullied by masters, it will be difficult to resist the enemy, which is also a fatal weakness.

The other party didn't rush up for a while, presumably just gathering people. Legend has it that the "Heavenly Punishment" kills, at least thirteen killers will be dispatched, and they will set up ambushes and surprise interceptions along the way, these killers must be scattered, and as long as they gather all the people, they will definitely take action, which will not take half an hour, and then it will be the time to fight for life and death.

Hua Bushi's eyes looked at Wang Changsheng, but he saw that the look on the face of this sturdy man was very resolute, and he didn't have any fear at all, and asked, "Wang Changsheng, you have been joining the sect for several years, right?"

This Wang Changsheng was originally an old disciple of the "Evil Dog Gate", and when Ximen Tong formed the Thunderbolt Camp, he was selected into the camp and became a flag commander. Hearing Hua Bushi ask, Wang Changsheng responded: "Yes, the villain joined the 'Evil Dog Gate' at the age of sixteen, and it has been eight years now. ”

In order to find a successor who is suitable for practicing the "Spirit Dog Fighting Technique", Hua Tianxiong also personally taught many disciples of the "Evil Dog Gate" martial arts in his early years, but basically he only taught it for three or two days and then gave up, just because the conditions for practicing this unique martial art are too harsh, and it is difficult for ordinary people to learn even a little fur.

Hua Bushi is proficient in the art of "distinguishing the body and recognizing people", and he can see that although this Wang Changsheng is born stout and smart, he is also clever and capable, but his qualifications for practicing martial arts are not good. This is not surprising, just because most people in the world have such qualifications, and there are very few people who can really become masters.

Hua Bushi sighed lightly and said, "You have joined the sect for many years, and you have not been able to teach you some clever martial arts, which is really a little sorry for you!"
