Turbulent Times Chapter 974: Another killer feature

Otherwise, these arrows would not be shot from their side and front, but from their sides, and they didn't notice it in advance. Survive the rain of arrows.

But even so, after the rain of arrows, forty or fifty ordinary soldiers fell off their horses screaming, and nearly a hundred horses were hit by arrows.

Wang Junlin was so distressed that he died. This is Fanyang County, unlike Yongzhou in the Northwest. As long as there is money to buy a few thousand horses, it’s nothing, but even if there are silver horses here, it’s not easy to buy. The many horses were the same as when the thousand cavalrymen failed to surround and kill him when he first came to Fanyang County, nearly half of them were killed, and the remaining horses were later bought by Wang Junlin from the Khitan people in the north before they were given to the government. The soldiers gathered enough 500 war horses, and after this wave of arrows, more than 100 horses were killed or injured, how could he not feel distressed.

Such a powerful crossbow attack and the opponent's meticulous preparation made Wang Junlin feel a breath of death.

The rain of crossbows is still flying, and there is the sound of howling horses at the entrance of the valley. At the beginning of the attack, Wang Junlin's early warning and the last shout played a very important role. All the masters and nearly half of the soldiers They all hid under the horses, and those who didn't dodge, such as the Spring and Autumn Valley Master and the Spring and Autumn Nu, could easily shoot the arrow aside, and the insect demon was also responsible for watching Lu Youwei and protecting him by the way.

The navy officers were not slow to react, and they also hid under the belly of the horse. Those who were not good at riding jumped off the horse, crawled on the ground and escaped the rain of arrows.

Wang Junlin saw with his own eyes that the crossbow arrows pierced fiercely into the bodies and heads of several government soldiers behind him, and into the chest, belly, and eye sockets of the horse, piercing and tearing, tearing the living flesh and blood away from the life they were attached to. .

As long as you dodge the slow ones, there is no way to avoid them. More than half of the more than two hundred soldiers who reacted slowly died under the first rain of arrows, and those who survived were seriously injured and dying. He hissed and fell to the ground, the blood stained the ground of Taniguchi, looking horrible.

There are corpses everywhere, arrows everywhere, blood everywhere, death everywhere.

The Spring and Autumn Valley Master suddenly let out a long roar, and his whole body flew up, about to shoot towards the valley.

However, he was in mid-air, and with a thunderous sound, a huge crossbow suddenly shot out from the woods on the hillside in front of him, and shot straight at the chest of Spring and Autumn Valley Master, with a speed as fast as lightning.

However, almost at the same time, the Spring and Autumn Valley Master let out a long cry again, and drew out the jet black long knife that he had almost never drawn out.

With a dull and loud bang, the giant crossbow arrow was cut into pieces by the Spring and Autumn Valley Master and fell to pieces.

The owner of the Spring and Autumn Valley had already taken the opportunity to stomp on the bluestone on the ground and swept into the forest, and then a series of screams came from the forest.

At the same time, a golden thin shadow rushed into the woods on the left hillside with incomparable speed.

The others are not strong enough, so they can only continue to crawl. There are horses to resist, and the arrows can't hit them, but the horses are constantly being shot to death.

Wang Junlin saw this scene, his eyes turned cold, and the murderous intent in his heart was already overwhelming. But his face became more and more calm, because only calm can he carry out the most effective counterattack.

"Dog killer."

"Dog killer."

Suddenly, in the woods on both sides, except for the screams brought by the Spring and Autumn Valley Master and the little golden snake of the insect demon, there was a lot of shouting, and then I saw a thousand people rushing out with knives.

Wang Junlin shouted: "Stand up and prepare to defend against the enemy."

Shan Xiongxin yelled an order: "Anyone in the government who hesitates will be executed! Anyone who escapes will be executed!"

Said two beheading words in one breath, and he had already organized the remaining nearly 400 government soldiers to form a battle formation. Because the horses were basically scrapped except for the blood-maned horses, the government soldiers They can only fight on foot, but the Fubing mainly trains on foot, and Shan Xiongxin is also proficient in foot fighting.

Almost 30 masters from the Lanyiwei Mansion and the Wulin League have all surrounded Wang Junlin and Xiangxiang. Wang Junlin asked nine naval officers and Lu Youwei to also come over, and put them in the In the middle, it is protected.

Under the leadership of Shan Xiongxin, more than 400 soldiers of the government gradually stabilized their minds and began to step down from the battle formation. They swarmed from the valley and they were obviously a group of bandits dressed up as bandits. Charging is by no means an ordinary bandit.

Fortunately, the nearly 400 government soldiers have undergone strict training from Shan Xiongxin for more than a month, not to mention that 50 of them were selected from the 100 master guards brought by Wang Junlin. , these nearly 400 government soldiers can be called elite.

Soon, between the valley entrances, a hollow army formation with a radius of six zhang was formed, roughly enclosing Wang Junlin, the masters around him and the navy generals in the center.

The number of enemy troops is large, but the organization is very chaotic. Although it is obviously fierce, it looks like a green forest bandit, and it is very likely that they did not come from the same cottage. It is obvious that Lu family spent a lot of money to kill them all. Kneading together, of course, it is also possible that these bandits were secretly raised by Lu Shi, just like the five thousand pirates they raised on Snake Island before.

In contrast to Wang Junlin, the military discipline of the nearly 400 soldiers in the government is much better, and the opponent can't easily break through for a while. It's just that the thickness of the battle array is too thin. And every time the enemy who rushed forward was killed and retreated, it would become weaker and weaker.

Wang Junlin immediately sent thirty masters out, but he didn't send them to join the battle formation, because that would have messed up the battle formation of the government soldiers. He directly let these thirty masters jump out of the battle formation, Killed among the bandits. Only Perfume, Insect Demon, Spring and Autumn Nu, Lu Youwei and nine naval officers were left in the formation.

On the hillsides on both sides in the distance, the screams had stopped, obviously the Spring and Autumn Valley Master and the little golden snake of the insect demon had already rushed here.

Although there are two or three thousand of these bandits, Wang Junlin knows that these bandits can't hurt him. It's just that these bandits don't know how much money they took from Mr. Lu or what kind of promise they got, and they are extremely brave. If they kill them all , It is estimated that the nearly four hundred government soldiers are almost exhausted, and even the thirty or so masters will suffer casualties.

"Lu Shi may still have ambushes who haven't shown up." Wang Junlin was frowning and thinking, and the fragrance beside him had already said.

Wang Junlin nodded and said, "That's right, there should be a more powerful trump card, otherwise..."

The second half of his sentence was quickly swallowed by a flood of shouts. A mountain king with a purple-black face led dozens of bandits on tall horses, and suddenly rushed from behind the bandits. Stand up bravely.
