Chapter 52 Armor-piercing Crossbow
Chapter 52 Armor-piercing Crossbow
Wu Yuan, Gu Ji, Wu Xiong and others rode Xishuang's big horses, sparing no effort in horse power, and followed the flat official road. In only half an hour, they had covered dozens of miles..
They also gradually moved away from the city and went deep into the countryside and wilderness..
This is the world of land and water thieves.
In the distance, you can see a vast hilly area in the distance, rolling and rolling, with a large number of trees growing in the hills..
The official road passes through a gorge in the hills..
“Ahead is the 'Wanling Valley', which is more than ten miles long. It is also one of the most active areas for bandits in Licheng. Everyone, please be careful." Wu Xiong shouted loudly: "Go around the young master..”
“Haha, Brother Wu, you are too careful.”
“Although there are often land bandits gathering in this Benling Valley, is it possible that they still dare to attack us?？”
“Ten miles away, I rushed over in an instant." These guards who were originally 'centurions' laughed loudly..
Even though I don’t care.
But their movements were not slow at all. Some accelerated slightly, and some gently pulled the reins. They quickly surrounded Wu Yuan and Gu Ji in the center of the team with tacit understanding..
In their opinion, the weakest people in the team are Wu Yuan and Gu Ji, who is the butler..
In fact, many guards were confused and even dissatisfied that Wu Yuan wanted to take an ordinary butler with him..
However, when Gu Ji showed his outstanding riding skills, these guards were too smart to say anything..
“Boom boom boom~" The horses' hooves stepped over without stopping. The team rushed directly into the winding pipe, and even the speed did not slow down at all..
More than a dozen war horses charged with all their strength, and the ground trembled. The movement was very shocking..
……Benlinggou, the gentle slope in the second half of the journey.
In the dense forest on one side, there is an ambush of a large group of land bandits, nearly two hundred of them. Some are wearing black armor, and some are wearing soft or cloth armor..
As for the weapons they carry, they are also varied.！
However, more than ten of them were hiding tens of meters away from the gangsters, wearing uniform black armor and masks, with only a pair of eyes..
The most eye-catching thing is the huge crossbows they hold！
Looking at these black-armored men, many other land bandits had a faint look of fear in their eyes, and they did not dare to get too close..
Ordinary gangs of land and water thieves, the Hengyun Sect turned a blind eye.
There are two exceptions.
One is heavy armor! The second is the crossbow！
Once any gang dares to hide or cast these two things in large quantities, the local city guards and the Nanmeng Army will join forces to kill them..
“Big boss, the first half of this winding gully terrain is the most suitable for an ambush. Why do these mysterious masters take us to the second half to ambush? "Some people among the land bandits were puzzled and asked in a low voice.
“madness.”
The land bandit leader had a ferocious scar on his face and whispered: "The one who can allow them to use armor-piercing crossbows to ambush is an ordinary caravan? It must be a master."！”
“The first half of the Crooked Valley has steep slopes on both sides and a large number of trees. It seems suitable for an ambush, but we know that the other party does not know？”
“The target will only pass quickly and be extremely alert！”
“After the first half of the journey, when horses are exhausted and people relax their vigilance, it will be the easiest time for crossbows to achieve success..”
“Don't ask any more questions.”
The leader of the land bandits shouted: "These mysterious masters can completely force us to come, but they still spent five thousand taels of silver to hire us, so do it well.”
“yes！”
“Understood." Although these land bandits are in a mess, over time, they are still more convinced of their leaders..
But they didn't know that their leader had received great benefits and asked them to work hard..
“Don't blame me." The leader of the land bandits glanced at the large number of bandits around him and sighed in his heart: "Ten thousand taels of silver is enough for me to change my name, change my surname, and live in a different county..”
He knew in his heart that this deal would not be as easy as the other party promised..
But he didn't have a choice.
If you don’t choose silver, you will die.！
suddenly.
The ground trembled slightly, and the gentle sound of horse hooves came. The black armored men and bandit leaders were very powerful, and they all felt it instantly..
The target is probably coming.
“Hide well！”
“Take out your bows and arrows and get ready." The originally noisy bandits immediately fell silent and stared fiercely into the distance..
They all knew that their whereabouts must not be exposed at this time. Dozens of land bandits in the front row were bending their bows and readying arrows, ready to shoot at any time..
The power of a crossbow has little to do with the user, it all depends on the instinctive power of the crossbow..
The power of bows and arrows depends not only on the materials of the bow and arrows, but also on the strength of the user.！
This group of ambushers did not let them hesitate for too long. A group of nearly twenty figures appeared in their sight in the official road of the gorge..
“Eighteen riders？”
“There are more than expected! Is it a goal? "These black-armored people are a little hesitant..
This is much more than the number of people in their intelligence.
“Such a tough team of knights is rarely seen in Wanlingou every day! One or two at most, I would rather kill them by mistake than let them go! superior! "The leader of the black-armored man was tall and powerful, and issued an order to the land bandit leader..
“Shoot the arrow! "The leader of the land bandits waved his hand and ordered.
“call out! ""call out! ""call out！”
In an instant, dozens of sharp arrows roared like meteors towards the knights' team, which had begun to slow down..
……“The second half of the journey is much safer.”
“Don’t worry too much.” After the most dangerous first half of the journey, the team’s guards were obviously much more relaxed..
“Young Master, don’t worry. Most of the land bandits rob caravans and convoys. Dressed as knights like us, we look like tough enemies at first glance, and there are few who can deal with us." Wu Xiong's horse was slightly faster than Wu Yuan. He left the county. After the city, they also unified the title of Wu Yuan - Young Master！
“Hmm." Wu Yuan nodded slightly, but glanced at the distance inadvertently..
In terms of physical fitness, Wu Yuan is no less than a second-rate master, and in terms of martial arts skills, he is not inferior to the master, and his spirit is so powerful now？
Even if the sense of control over the environment is not as good as that of the Earth Ranking Master, it will never be weaker than that of the top masters..
Hundreds of land bandits lay in ambush. No matter how cautious they were, their actions were loud and clear..
Third-rate experts can't notice it.
How could I hide it from Wu Yuan?？
However, Wu Yuan didn't say a word to remind him, but he was a little curious in his heart. Is this bandit team a coincidence? Or specifically ambush yourself?？
suddenly.
call out! call out! call out! Densely packed arrows suddenly shrouded down from the dense forest on the gentle slopes on both sides, each arrow shining with metallic light..
extremely horrifying！
“not good! "Wu Xiong, who was still chatting and laughing, suddenly changed his expression and roared: "Enemy attack! Protect！”
call! call! He suddenly pulled out the two guns from his back, swung them into a full moon, and flew away the arrows that were fired at him like lightning.
Wu Yuan looked shocked and seemed to have narrowly avoided two arrows..
The other guards also reacted extremely quickly, either waving their spears or drawing out their knives, deflecting the long arrows that were shot at them like lightning..
At the same time, the war horses galloped and quickly gathered towards Wu Yuan..
but.
“"Pfft~" "Pfft~" There were still two knights whose strength was only 'senior samurai' who couldn't dodge and were shot..
One was hit in the chest by an arrow and was blocked by the soft armor. His blood was only boiling, so it was not a big problem..
“Boom! "There was also a knight who was extremely unlucky and was shot in the neck. His blood spattered and he fell from his horse. His life and death were unpredictable..
“There are many people ambushing.”
“A bunch of bastards! "When Wu Xiong and the others saw the casualties on their side, they were all angry. From the power of the arrows, they could roughly judge the strength of the ambushers..
There seems to be no expert.
“No. 2 to No. 4, cover the young master and rush out of the encirclement first." Wu Xiong shouted angrily: "The rest of you, come up the slope with me to kill the enemy.！”
In the team, except for Wu Yuan and Gu Ji, everyone in the guard calls each other by their code names..
“yes！”
“Kill these bastards and take revenge! "These city guards may have internal competition, but externally they are extremely united..
How can we give up after the death of a brother?？
“boom! ""boom! "More than ten Xishuang horses instantly divided into two groups. One group continued to move forward, and the other group rushed directly along the gentle slope towards the dense forest..
Well-trained, transitioning like the wind.
“What? Only one died? Are they all top-notch experts? "The hundreds of land bandits who were full of confidence just now all looked frightened..
It should be noted that among their team of nearly 200 people, only the leader is a top-notch expert, not even a few martial arts masters..
After all, if you have the strength to be a martial artist, you can definitely join a big gang..
Just like Wu Yuan single-handedly picked the Fierce Tiger Gang.
An armored master, facing dozens of seventh-grade warriors and eighth-grade martial arts masters, can completely sweep them away..
“leader！”
“what to do? "Many land bandits looked at the leader in horror..
The leader of the land bandits had already received the gesture from the burly black-armored man, and immediately understood that the group of people in front of him were the target..
He couldn't help gritting his teeth: "Kill me! Kill a knight and you will be rewarded with a hundred taels of silver."！”
“kill！”
“This is a dense forest, and the impact of the big horse cannot be used to its advantage." These bandits were already licking blood at the edge of their swords, but under the heavy reward, each one of them also showed a ferocious look..
He fired a second round of arrows, then took out his weapons and rushed towards Wu Xiong and the eleven knights who were rushing towards them..
“rise！”
“Kill them all! "Wu Xiong and the others rushed up the slope with their horses. When the horses were still twenty or thirty meters away from the dense forest, they suddenly jumped up one by one..
Man borrows horse's power.
In an instant, he crossed a distance of tens of meters, landed with a crash, and directly met the land bandits who were coming up like a tide..
“Bang! ""puff! "Wow!" "Either sweeping with a long spear, thrusting with a short spear, or slashing with a long knife.！
Like a meat grinder, limbs flew around, heads fell to the ground, and blood splattered. In an instant, more than twenty land bandits died..
The six city guard centurions are not only physically strong, they are also wearing the 'fourth-grade soft armor' given by the sect. In addition, they have been practicing for many years, so they are very skilled in coordination.？
They join forces to rush for the kill. It can be said that a dozen or twenty top-notch masters who are not familiar with each other join forces..
Such horrific casualties made hundreds of land bandits frightened and their movements stopped. They were seeking money..
Even if you are not afraid of death, you don’t want to die.！
Wu Xiong's two short spears pierced the bodies of each land bandit like lightning. His eyes swept across the entire dense forest, and suddenly he saw a dozen black-armored figures who were well hidden on one side of the dense forest.！
A large crossbow with its handle raised, arrows ready, was aimed at Wu Yuan and others who had already flown hundreds of meters..
“not good! It's an 'armor-piercing crossbow'! "Wu Xiong's face changed drastically..
But where can I stop it?？
“call out! ""call out! ""call out! "Thirteen armor-piercing crossbows that were enough to threaten second-rate masters were launched instantly, like thirteen black meteors, shooting away like lightning..
Target.
It was Wu Yuan who was in the center of the team！
