The most intelligent general in the world

The Zhang Mansion was huge, with 500 well-trained private soldiers, more than 100 servants and 50 personal bodyguards.

These private armies are all well-equipped and have good coordination, and the fifty bodyguards are all masters at the Xiao Zhoutian level.

The leader of the private army and bodyguards is a martial arts master at the pinnacle of the Great Zhoutian realm.

With such strength, even an ordinary master would not dare to break into Zhang's house easily.

With the protection of Zhang Li, Yan Lingji and Wushuang Gui, Zhang Liang could go out with peace of mind.

At this moment, nearly a hundred people rushed into Zhang's house from all directions.

These invaders were not weak either. More than one hundred of them were divided into seven forces, and the leader of each force was either a Great Zhoutian or a Half-step Grandmaster. In the seven forces combined, there were ten Great Zhoutian and Half-step Grandmasters, and one was a Grandmaster-level expert.

Such strength is truly astonishing. If it were in the past, the Zhang family would definitely not be able to withstand it.

However, as soon as they entered Zhang's house, they were met with a rain of arrows. The Zhang family had already received intelligence from the straw raincoat man and had prepared for this attack. Despite the fierce rain of arrows, only a dozen people were injured, and a few unlucky people were shot in the vital parts and died.

"Retreat!" The leader of the private army ordered loudly. Five hundred soldiers retreated to the inner courtyard while blocking the enemy with bows and arrows. Under the cover of the rain of arrows, the retreat was smooth.

The thieves who broke into the Zhang family were divided into seven groups. Although there were experts, no one was willing to rush into the formation of the private army at this time. After all, their target was the Danfang, not to destroy the Zhang Mansion, and no one wanted to let others get away with it. To them, the Zhang Mansion without Zhang Liang was like a toothless tiger, not worth fearing at all, so why increase casualties at this time?

Soon, all five hundred soldiers retreated into the inner courtyard and guarded every area tightly. The one hundred or so thieves outside were all surrounded outside the inner courtyard.

"Everyone, do you want to rush in together or fight separately?" a masked leader asked in a hoarse voice.

"Hmph, it's already this time, of course it all depends on one's ability. There are only a few hundred soldiers, rushing in is like slaughtering chickens and dogs, don't waste time!" said another leader disdainfully.

Among the many leaders, there was a Grandmaster, but he did not speak at this moment. Compared with the others, this Grandmaster felt more or less dangerous, so he did not want to rush to the front.

The seven forces were different, some were cautious, some were impatient. So, the leader of one force did not discuss with the others and directly led his men into the inner courtyard.

With someone taking the lead, the others naturally couldn't sit still. Soon, five of the seven forces rushed into the inner courtyard.

In the inner courtyard, all the members of the Zhang family gathered together.

"Let's do it, most of them have already come in!" Zhang Li looked at the approaching crowd and gave the order with some regret.

"Yes!"

At the command, five hundred soldiers and fifty bodyguards took out their weapons. This time they were not using bows and arrows, but specially made powerful crossbows.

On one side were powerful crossbows, and on the other side were martial arts masters. Although there would be huge losses in attacking the army formation composed of powerful crossbows, once they rushed into the formation, the combat effectiveness of the crossbowmen would be greatly weakened, and facing people who were almost all in the Xiao Zhou Tian realm, they would seem powerless.

Especially when they saw Zhang Kai sitting among the soldiers, these people could no longer hold back and rushed directly towards the soldiers.

But the development of things is always unexpected.

A Great Zhoutian thief rushed to the front, attracting a volley of crossbows, but he was highly skilled in martial arts and danced with his sword so tightly that the crossbows could not hurt him in a short period of time. After only a few seconds, he rushed out dozens of steps.

"What's going on? I feel dizzy!"

As this thought flashed through his mind, this Great Zhoutian master suddenly fell to the ground, and was then shot into a hornet's nest by countless crossbow arrows.

The situation in other places was roughly the same. The masters of the Great Zhoutian were unable to resist and fell into coma one after another, and the others were even worse.

Five forces, totaling about seventy people, rushed into the inner courtyard, but it only took a dozen seconds and almost all of them were wiped out.

There were two other forces outside, and although they did not come in, they were also watching the battle. Upon seeing this situation, even the master now wanted to retreat.

Five hundred archers are enough to make a master retreat, and five hundred crossbowmen are enough to defeat a master even if he resists head-on.

"Retreat!" the master shouted loudly and decisively.

"Hmph, where are you running to!" Zhang Li also shouted loudly, and rushed out of the courtyard without hesitation, holding a heavy sword and slashing straight at the grandmaster.

At the same time, Yan Lingji and Wushuang Gui also took action immediately, and three hundred of the more than five hundred crossbowmen were selected to chase after them.

The remaining two groups only had more than 20 people, and after several rounds of crossbow shooting, most of them were already dead. Some of them escaped the crossbow's coverage, but Yan Lingji and Wushuang Gui had already taken action to kill them.

The masked master fought fiercely with Zhang Li, and it was difficult to determine the winner in a short time.

"We must retreat quickly. Once we are surrounded, we may not be able to escape!"

The master was about to retreat, but unexpectedly the private armies around him raised their crossbows without hesitation and shot directly at him, even including Zhang Li in the attack range.

"Zhang Li, just wait for me!" The master roared and turned to flee.

Zhang Li sneered, swung his sword and chased after him, Yan Lingji and Wushuang Gui followed closely behind, hunting down the remaining enemies.
