Before the arrow was fired, someone among the group of heroes suddenly shouted loudly: "How long have you ever spoken of faith, grandson of the imperial court? During the Jiajing period, Wang Zhi, the captain of the Wufeng ship, was killed and surrendered.
We and other people from all walks of life gathered here, but they broke in indiscriminately and charged with chaos as soon as they came up.
Humph, this is clearly forcing everyone to rebel. How can there be such a government in the world?
In my opinion, this group of people must have suffered a defeat and insisted on using the heads of their brothers in exchange for military glory.
This kind of thing is not the first time in this dynasty. If you have the right, the officials will force the people to rebel. We are all good citizens of the Ming Dynasty. These ruffians want the lives of these big guys. How can we let people prey on them?
He simply fought with them, his head fell off and he had a scar as big as the mouth of a bowl. Eighteen years later he was a good man again! "
Before he could finish his words, there was only a whooshing sound, and several feather arrows were shot at everyone. The people standing in the front row fell down before they could prepare for it.
None of the heroes thought that the officers and soldiers were serious. For a moment, there was chaos in Fangcun, with shouts of killing, curses, and the sound of weapons clashing.
Those who rushed forward were shot by arrows and turned into hedgehogs. On the contrary, those who stood still saved their lives.
The general standing behind the shield array said loudly: "Do you understand what I said? Stand on the spot and drop your weapons. If there are any more rebellious people, those who died will be examples." He said this The words were rather intimidating.
The heroes looked at the faces of the officers and soldiers, and then looked at each other in confusion.
These officers and soldiers have clear orders, with shield-bearers in the front, archers and crossbowmen in the middle, swordsmen, spearmen, and flying guards at the back. This formation is very particular.
With the shield hand in front, it can firstly effectively resist the hidden weapons issued by the Jianghu people, and secondly, it can provide cover for the sergeants in the middle and back rows.
Under the protection of the shield array, the role of the archers and crossbowmen is to distance the shield bearers from the people in the world. Many of these people in the world have great qinggong skills. If you want to fight close to them, you will inevitably make mistakes.
Taking advantage of the complementary advantages of shields and bows, he easily suppressed the attacks of Jianghu people.
The spearmen and flying guards in the back row cooperated with each other to drag the injured enemies into the formation, and stabbed them randomly, making it difficult for anyone to resist.
The fighting style of Jianghu heroes is often one-on-one. Only by fighting to capture the pair can it be considered fair and aboveboard.
But when two armies are fighting, how many generals still follow moral rules? The most important thing is to destroy the enemy in the shortest possible time.
Logically speaking, the number of people on both sides is almost the same, but with the situation in front of them, these over-the-top heroes were beaten really hard.
Ultimately, there are three reasons. First, righteous people who already have awe of the imperial court, but now they are facing a head-on confrontation with the imperial army, no one is timid, and in terms of courage, they lose three points first;
Secondly, although there are many heroes, their hearts are not unified. Everyone is trying to protect themselves, so how can they care about the lives of others? In this case, the combat effectiveness will only be greatly reduced;
Third, in a head-to-head confrontation, without any cover, charging into the enemy's battles will lead to death.
At such a close distance, the arrows were like locusts, and it was difficult to dodge. With screams and curses, many people fell down.
Xiao Yunfan in the crowd glanced at the general. Even though he was very good at lightness, it was still unimaginable to shuttle through the dense rain of arrows.
Many people lost their commanders, relatives, friends, and brothers. Some had resentment on their faces, some had resentment in their eyes, and some were filled with fear in their hearts and were hesitating whether to lay down their weapons.
Xiao Yunfan leaned down, grabbed a dead man and said, "I'm sorry, brother."
He blocked the person in front of him and ran towards the north. Bai Ruoxuan and Yu Shura also followed his example and took cover.
When the general saw someone resisting, he waved his hand, and there was a hail of arrows from the north.
Countless strong winds passed by Xiao Yunfan's ears, and he suddenly lifted the body high and threw it into the air.
His man rolled on the spot, used his internal strength, and swung out the scabbard.
Click, click, click, the five shields shattered like pieces of silk. Blood spurted out from the mouths of these shield hands and flew backwards.
The archers and crossbowmen were hit by the wave in the front row, and they also fell backwards. Bai Ruoxuan raised her long sleeves and fired dozens of hidden weapons. The sergeants who were hit all wailed, covering their eyes with blood seeping between their fingers. Come blood.
At this time, a row of spears came towards Xiao Yunfan. He jumped into the air and clicked the scabbard in his hand. As the black shadow passed by, the soldiers howled like slaughtering pigs, staggered around, and rolled on the ground.
Watching Jade Shura's palms flying up and down, the wind of his palms was so fierce that those who were struck by his palms all vomited blood and died on the spot.
With the strength of the three of them and the help of the masters from the City of Darkness, they were able to tear a hole in the northern battle formation.
Taoist priest Gu Feng was filled with admiration when he saw Xiao Yunfan being so brave. He swung his sword to deflect several feathered arrows, and said to everyone: "Everyone, please return to the hall first." After saying that, he ran a few steps forward to protect a few disciples.
The heroes fought and retreated, and soon entered the main hall. When the officers and soldiers saw the tragic death of their brothers, they could not help but feel fear and did not dare to approach.
In this fight, more than half of the heroes were killed or injured. All of them looked depressed and sighed.
The eight doors of Dajue Temple were also immediately closed, temporarily blocking the officers and soldiers from outside.
The general frowned slightly, snorted coldly, held the handle of the sword and said: "You rats, do you think that if you hide in this hall, this general can do nothing to you?
The people have surrounded the main hall and piled firewood around. I don't believe you won't come out. "
The heroes were disgraced. They had just experienced a hard battle and were already extremely exhausted. At this moment, I heard that the enemy was going to set fire to the palace again, and I became panicked again.
Taoist Master Gufeng looked at several injured disciples with a heavy heart. He looked at Xiao Yunfan's back and felt uncomfortable in his heart.
After mustering up the courage, he stepped forward and said murmuringly: "Brother Xiao, you are willing to take risks to rescue everyone. I would like to thank you on behalf of all the brothers." After saying this, he kowtowed.
Xiao Yunfan hurriedly stopped him and said: "The Taoist priest's words make Yunfan ashamed. If I had seen through the enemy's conspiracy earlier, why would those heroes have died? I really don't deserve this word of thanks."
Now that the enemy is facing us, Yun Fan's words are still not strong enough to win the trust of the heroes in the world. He still persuades Taoist priest to put aside personal grudges and work together to tide over the difficulties. "
Taoist Master Gu Feng nodded, holding Xiao Yunfan's hands with tears in his eyes: "Brother Xiao's kindheartedness is a blessing to the martial arts world.
It's a pity that the poor and old man is so dim-sighted that he can't recognize good people. I...I...my tricks are all for show. "
When he got excited, he suddenly stretched out two slender fingers and inserted them into his eye sockets.
Xiao Yunfan was taken aback and hurriedly stretched out his hand to grab the opponent's pulse gate.
He sighed: "Taoist Master, why are you doing this? Xiao understands your intention. Now that we are facing a powerful enemy, we should find a way to survive."
Taoist Master Gu Feng turned his head and glanced at the group of heroes behind him, shook his head and said: "This door is heavily guarded. Once you go out, you will die. How easy is it to ask for a way out?
Looking at today's battle, the imperial court may have been prepared early in the morning, waiting for us to gather together to eradicate the root cause. "
Xiao Yunfan said loudly: "Master Taoist, don't be discouraged, Yunfan has already made plans."
After hearing what he said, Taoist Gu Feng's eyes lit up and he said hurriedly: "Oh? Brother Xiao, if you have any clever ideas, let me tell you."
Xiao Yunfan said calmly: "This plan requires everyone to work together to be effective.
If the Taoist priest can't convince everyone to put down their personal prejudices, then my strategy will never work. "
Taoist Master Gufeng discussed with Master Zhiyuan and said to the group of heroes: "You must have seen what happened today clearly. The people in the court were lured by the Ghost Prime Minister, and their purpose is to wipe out our entire family.
This kind of thinking is really vicious. What can we do now that we know it? It’s not like you have to wait to die here. "
At this time, someone in the crowd said: "One person is short-term, and two people are long-term. Why can't there be a solution with so many people?"
How could Taoist Gu Feng not know Xiao Yunfan's intention? This person was just using the incident in front of him to seek peace for Yu Shura and others in the future.
The fate of heroes is at stake. It would be extremely foolish to insist on fighting to the death if they are still obsessed with past grievances.
Master Zhiyuan said slowly: "Everyone can see clearly what Xiao Tanyue did today. If he is really a member of the Gui Xiang Sect, then the Gui Xiang Sect will only design us, so why let him go up the mountain?
Even if he is allowed to go up the mountain to stabilize us, if he can lead the army to encircle and suppress us, then even their own people will be buried with him.
If they had agreed from the beginning, then why would Xiao Tanyue have to step forward? Isn't this unnecessary?
There is only one possibility that can explain all this. It’s just that Gui Xiangmen doesn’t trust him at all and thinks he is still one of ours.
Lao Na thought that everyone had wronged him these days, and Xiao Tan had an ulterior motive for entering the ghost minister's sect.
His plan is to find out the enemy's movements so as to provide a glimmer of hope for our Central Plains martial arts community. If a big guy doesn't distinguish between friend and foe and harms him, it will only make the enemy proud. "
After hearing this, many people lowered their heads and asked themselves: "If Xiao Yunfan and I were in a different place, I'm afraid my resolve would have been shaken long ago.
Regardless of the righteous friends who keep saying chivalry and chivalry, when it comes to sacrificing their lives for righteousness, how many of them dare to risk their lives? "
Master Zhiyuan clasped his hands together and said, "You heroes are here at the invitation of Dajue Temple. You never expected that something like this would happen.
All sins are borne by me. If you have any resentment in your heart, you can vent it to me. "
Feng Miaoqing was sitting cross-legged in a corner of the hall, muttering in her heart: "You monk is really cunning. Nowadays, everyone is dead. Even if I kill you, will those dead people survive?
Let's talk about it without getting to the point. Didn't you hear those footsteps outside? And what kind of medicine is sold in Brother Xiao's gourd? "
Bai Ruoxuan walked up to Xiao Yunfan and said, "Hey, what are your plans now?"
Xiao Yunfan touched his chin and whispered: "You, Miss Bai, are not the smartest, you might as well guess what my plan is?"
Bai Ruoxuan said angrily: "I'm not in the mood."
Suddenly she stared at Xiao Yunfan's face with cunning eyes and said, "Although I don't know what the hell you have in mind, I do know another thing."
Xiao Yunfan asked curiously: "What's the matter?"
Bai Ruoxuan said: "Your toes will hurt."
Xiao Yunfan was about to say why he saw it, but Bai Ruoxuan stretched out her foot and stepped on his foot hard, then jumped to the side and unfolded the folding fan and said, "What I said is right."
Xiao Yunfan could only smile helplessly and said: "You are right, it does hurt."
