  Chapter 52 Armor-piercing crossbow

  Wu Yuan, Gu Ji, Wu Xiong and the others rode Xishuang's big horses, spared no effort in horsepower, and along the flat official road, they had already crossed tens of miles in just half an hour.

   also gradually moved away from the city and went deep into the countryside and wilderness.

  Here is the world of land bandits and water thieves.

  In the distance, you can see a vast hilly area in the distance, undulating and rolling, and a large number of trees grow in the hills.

  The official road passes through a gorge in the hills.

   "In front is the 'Wanlingou', which is more than ten miles long. It is also one of the most active areas in Licheng, everyone, be careful." Wu Xiong shouted: "Go around the young master."

   "Haha, Brother Wu, you are too careful."

   "Although there are often land bandits gathering in this curved forest ditch, is it possible that they dare to attack us?"

   "Ten miles, we rushed over in an instant." These guards who were originally 'centurions' laughed loudly.

  Although he doesn't care about it.

  But their movements were not slow at all, some sped up slightly, some pulled the reins lightly, and surrounded Wu Yuan and Gu Ji in the middle of the team quickly and full of tacit understanding.

  In their view, the weakest members of the team are Wu Yuan and Gu Ji who is the housekeeper.

  Actually, many guards were puzzled and even dissatisfied that Wu Yuan wanted to bring an ordinary butler with him.

   It's just that when Gu Ji showed good riding skills, these guards were savvy and didn't ask much.

   "Boom boom boom~" The horse's hooves stepped over without stopping, and the team rushed directly into the winding pipeline without even slowing down at all.

  More than a dozen war horses charged with all their strength, and the ground trembled. The movement and movement were very astonishing.

  ...Curved forest ditch, a gentle **** in the second half.

  In the dense forest on one side, a large group of land bandits was ambushing, nearly 200 people, some wearing black armor, some wearing soft armor and cloth armor.

   As for the weapons they carry, they are also varied!

  However, more than a dozen of them were hiding tens of meters away from the gangsters, wearing uniform black armor, masks, and only a pair of eyes.

  The most eye-catching thing is the huge crossbow they hold!

  Looking at these black-armored men, the eyes of many other land bandits were faintly frightened, and they did not dare to get too close.

  Ordinary gangs of land bandits and water thieves, Heng Yunzong 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 Nanmeng army will join hands to strangle them.

   "Boss, the first half of this curved forest ditch is the most suitable for ambushes. Why did these mysterious masters bring us to the second half of the way to ambush?" Some of the bandits asked in a low voice, puzzled.

"madness."

  The bandit leader had a hideous scar on his face, and said in a low voice, "The one who can make them use the armor-piercing crossbow to ambush is an ordinary caravan? It must be a master!"

   "The curved forest ditch has steep slopes on both sides of the first half, and there are a lot of trees growing there. It seems suitable for an ambush, but we know, doesn't the other party 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 bows and crossbows to make achievements."

   "Don't ask more questions."

  The leader of the land bandits snorted: "These mysterious masters can 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 were in a mess, they were quite convinced of their leader after a long time.

  They didn't know that their leader had received a lot of benefits and let them work hard.

   "Don't blame me." The leader of the land bandits glanced at the large group of bandits beside him, and sighed secretly: "Ten thousand taels of silver is enough for me to change my name and surname, and go to another county to live in peace."

  He knew in his heart that this deal would not be as easy as the other party promised.

   But he had no choice.

   If you don’t choose silver, you will die!

  Suddenly.

  The ground trembled slightly, and there was a slight sound of horseshoes. Those black armored men and bandit leaders were so powerful that they all felt it instantly.

   Target, likely coming.

   "Hide it!"

   "Take out the bow and arrow, and get ready." The noisy bandits immediately quieted down, staring fiercely into the distance.

  They all knew that they must not reveal their whereabouts at this time. Dozens of land bandits in the front row bowed their bows and set up arrows, ready to shoot at any time.

  The power of the crossbow has little to do with the user, it all depends on the instinctive power of the crossbow.

  The power of a bow and arrow depends not only on the material of the bow and arrow, but also on the strength of the user!

   Before the group of ambushers hesitated for too long, a group of nearly twenty figures appeared in their line of sight in the official road of the gorge.

   "Eighteen riders?"

   "It's more than expected! Is it the target?" These black-armored men hesitated.

   This is much more than the number of people in their intelligence.

"It's rare to see such a tough team of knights in Wanlingou every day! One or two at most, I'd rather kill them by mistake than let them go! Come on!" The bandit leader gave the order.

   "Fire the arrows!" The bandit leader waved his hand and ordered.

   "Whew!" "Whew!" "Whew!"

  In an instant, dozens of sharp arrows roared like meteors towards the team of knights whose speed 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, the guards of the team obviously relaxed a lot.

   "My lord, don't worry, most of the land bandits rob caravans and caravans. Dressed up as knights like us, they look tough and rarely deal with us." Wu Xiong's horse was slightly faster than Wu Yuan.

  After leaving the county town, they also unified their address for Wu Yuan—Young Master!

   "Yes." Wu Yuan nodded slightly, but glanced in 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 a master. And how powerful is his spirit now?

  The sense of control over the environment, even if it is not as good as the master of the list, it will never be weaker than the top masters.

  Hundreds of land bandits lay in ambush, no matter how cautious they are, when they move, their voices are very clear.

  Third-rate masters can't detect it.

  How can Wu Yuan be deceived?

  However, Wu Yuan didn't open his mouth to remind, but he was a little curious. Is this bandit team a coincidence? Or to ambush yourself?

  Suddenly.

   Phew! call out! call out! Dense arrows suddenly shrouded down from the dense forest on gentle slopes on both sides, and each arrow shone with metallic light.

   Extremely scary!

   "Not good!" Wu Xiong, who was still talking and laughing, suddenly changed his face, and roared: "Enemy attack! Protect!"

   Hoo! call! He suddenly pulled out the two guns behind his back, swung them into a full moon, and scattered the arrows that came in like lightning.

  Wu Yuan looked shocked, as if he narrowly avoided two arrows.

  The other guards reacted extremely quickly, either waving their long spears or pulling out their long knives, and the incoming long arrows were thrown away like lightning.

  At the same time, the horses galloped and quickly gathered towards Wu Yuan.

but.

   "噗嗤~" "噗嗤~" There were still two knights whose strength was only 'advanced warriors', unable to dodge and were shot.

   One was shot in the chest by an arrow and was blocked by the soft armor. It was only blood tumbling, so it was not a big problem.

   "Boom!" There was also a knight who was shot in the neck by the unlucky one, blood spattered, turned over and fell off his horse, life and death were unpredictable.

   "There are many people in ambush."

   "A group of bastards!" Wu Xiong and the others were all angry when they saw that there were casualties on their side. From the power of the arrows, they also roughly judged the strength of the ambush.

   It seems that there are no masters.

   "No. 2 to No. 4, cover the son and rush out of the encirclement first." Wu Xiong shouted angrily: "The rest, come uphill with me to kill the enemy!"

  In the team, except for Wu Yuan and Gu Ji, everyone in the guard called each other by code names.

"yes!"

   "Kill all these **** and take revenge!" These city guards may have competition internally, but they are extremely united externally.

  How can one stop when a brother dies?

   "Boom!

   Well-trained, transferred like the wind.

   "What? Only one died? Are they all masters?" The hundreds of bandits who were full of confidence just now showed expressions of panic.

  It should be noted that in their team of nearly 200 people, only the leader is a master, not even a few martial artists.

   After all, if you have the strength of a martial artist, you can join a big gang.

  Like Wu Yuan single-handedly picked the Tiger Gang.

  An elite expert in armor can completely sweep away dozens of seventh-rank warriors and eighth-rank warriors.

   "Boss!"

   "What should I do?" Many land bandits looked at the leader in horror.

  The bandit leader had already received the gesture from the burly man in black armor, and immediately understood that this group of people in front of him was the target.

  He couldn't help gritting his teeth: "Kill me! Kill a knight and reward him with a hundred taels of silver!"

"kill!"

   "This is a dense forest, and Malaysia's impact force can't give full play to its advantage." These bandits were already licking blood at the edge of their knives, and under the heavy reward, each of them showed a hideous look.

  Shot a second round of arrows, and immediately took out the weapons, and rushed towards the eleven knights rushed up by Wu Xiong and the others.

"rise!"

   "Kill them all!" Wu Xiong and the others galloped their horses up the slope, and when the horses were still 20 to 30 meters away from the dense forest, they jumped up one by one.

  People borrow horse power.

   In an instant, it crossed a distance of tens of meters, landed with a crash, and directly met the land bandits who came up like a tide.

   "Boom!" "Puff!"

   Like a meat grinder, stumps flew around, heads fell to the ground, blood spattered, and more than twenty land bandits died in an instant.

  The six city guard centurion commanders are not only physically strong, but also wear the "four-grade soft armor" bestowed by the sect, and they have practiced for many years. How skillful are they in cooperating?

   They teamed up to kill, it can be said that ten or twenty in-stream masters who are not familiar with each other joined forces.

  Such horrible casualties made hundreds of land bandits terrified, and their actions were all stopped. They were seeking money.

   I am no longer afraid of death, and I don’t want to die!

  Wu Xiong's two short spears pierced the bodies of the bandits like lightning. His eyes swept across the entire dense forest, and suddenly he saw more than a dozen black-armored figures well hidden on the side of the dense forest!

  A big crossbow with a raised handle, the arrow is ready, and it is aiming at Wu Yuan and others who have already galloped hundreds of meters.

   "Not good! It's the 'armor-piercing crossbow'!" Wu Xiong's face changed drastically.

  How can there be time to stop it?

   "Whoo!"

Target.

   It was Wu Yuan who was in the middle of the team!
