Now that he had moved his hand, Yun Chao stopped talking nonsense. Before the other party could react, he took out the strung crossbow from the ox cart next to him.
At this time, the other three remaining strong men had already reacted.
Before, firstly, Yun Chao's move was too sudden, and secondly, his sight was blocked by the half-cut eyebrow, so they didn't see Yun Chao move.
When I heard Ban Jie Mei's cry, I thought it was because he was too excited.
It wasn't until Yun Chao and Li Xing both succeeded that they finally figured out what was going on.
As expected of Lian Jiazi, his reaction was quick. As soon as he reacted, the three strong men dodged towards the big tree next to them, trying to use the trunk as a cover.
At the same time, they all took off the bows and arrows on their backs, and without waiting to take aim, they shot at Yun Chao and his party!
However, during this pause in archery, one of the strong men was unlucky.
Yun Chao, who was the fastest, was hit in the shoulder by a crossbow. With a sound, the bow and arrow in his hand fell to the ground on the spot!
Li Xing was a little slower than Yun Chao. By the time he took out the crossbow, the remaining two strong men of the opponent had already ducked behind the tree and shot bows and arrows at them.
A scream of ah came from beside Li Xing. Without even looking back, Li Xing could tell that it was the voice of a fool. He must have been hit by an arrow!
At this moment, there was a bang, and a strong man on the other side also let out a scream.
It was the crossbow arrow fired by Jia Mancang. The strong man on the other side couldn't hide his body completely and was shot in the thigh by Jia Mancang's crossbow!
Immediately afterwards, there were several more bang-boom-boom sounds of the crossbow strings. The boys finally reacted and fired the crossbow arrows one after another.
Unfortunately, none of the two strong men hiding behind the tree trunks were hit. Only the guy who was shot by Yun Chao with a crossbow on his shoulder did not dodge. He was hit several times and it looked like he was dead!
"Seventh brother, the idea is tough. You should leave quickly and find someone to avenge your brothers!"
The only one who was not injured was Brother Qi. His eyes were split open and his teeth were broken: "Assholes, how dare you attack our people from Black Pine Ridge? Tell us your name. We, Black Pine Ridge, will wipe out all of you!" "
Yun Chao's pupils shrank. It turned out that he had encountered bandits from Heisongling. No wonder he was so cruel!
"Hmph, I can't change my name, but I can't change my surname. You hear clearly, I'm the helper invited by the fat shopkeeper of Lion House, and I just want to destroy you Black Pine Ridge. Do you understand?"
The bandit with an injured thigh roared angrily: "Ah! You're a fat pig. If I had known this day, I would have killed his whole family long ago. Brother Qi, please leave quickly and go back to report the news. Let the third boss be careful about that fat pig!"
"Hmph, don't mention that guy named Xiao. If he hadn't been interested in the Fat Pig's family business and insisted on staying in Qingyang County, how could our brothers have been so badly damaged? After I go back, I will find a big boss to help our brothers. Please give me an explanation!"
"..."
Yun Chao did not act in a hurry, but picked up another strung crossbow and was always on guard against the opponent's arrows.
Even though he knew that the seventh brother was planning to escape, Yun Chao did not stop him forcefully.
Youdao says that when enemies are in trouble, don't chase them. The reason why they achieved such great results from the beginning was mainly because they took advantage of striking first.
Now that the opponent has become a trapped beast, if they are pushed too hard, there may be casualties on one's own side.
Moreover, Yun Chao is also waiting for other boys to string up their crossbows. In the first round of shooting, most of the crossbows in the hands of the boys were empty. It is not in line with Yun Chao's best efforts to fight the opponent's practitioners with swords and guns. The principle of avoiding casualties.
After listening to the other party's conversation, Yun Chao had basically made a guess. It felt incredible and bizarre.
It turns out that the servant and the gangster were right. Someone from the Fat Shopkeeper’s family is indeed here, but it’s not his relative, but a bandit from Black Pine Ridge!
Good guy, the bandits from Heisongling actually live in the fat shopkeeper's house openly. I don't know who came up with the idea. Is it the third boss mentioned by Brother Seven?
What a divine operation!
At this time, the other party had completed the exchange. It was understood that the bandit with the injured thigh stayed behind, covered the seventh brother's escape, and went back to report the news.
At the same time, the boys on Yun Chao's side also re-strung their crossbows and regained their composure. They were slowly approaching each other in groups of five according to their usual training rhythm.
"Brother Qi, come on, they are coming!"
The bandit with his injured thigh roared angrily, leaned out from behind the tree, and shot an arrow at several boys!
The one who was shot was a group led by Jia Mancang. He personally walked in front holding a shield and acted as a sword and shield bearer. When he saw the opponent ducking and shot an arrow, he quickly blocked it with the shield in his hand!
With a bang, an arrow hit the shield in Jia Mancang's hand, shaking his body and almost losing his shield!
At the moment when the opponent was shooting an arrow, Jia Mancang's crossbowman also triggered the crossbow machine.
Unfortunately, the opponent moved too fast and immediately retracted after shooting the arrow.
The crossbowman's reaction was slightly slower, and the crossbow bolt flew close to the big tree where the opponent was hiding.
Shot empty!
At the same time, the seventh brother suddenly leaned out and shot an arrow randomly at Yun Chao without even taking aim, then turned around and ran away!
Boom!
Brother Qi made a miscalculation. Not only did his arrow fail to scare the people on Yun Chao's side, but his position was exposed. The crossbowmen from the other group seized the opportunity and shot him in the butt with a single crossbow!
In such a sparse grove, shooting against a group of guys with guns, the strength comparison between the two sides is really huge. No matter how good Qi Brother is, he has no place to use it!
In fact, the bandits in Heisongling made a mistake. If they had not been careless and attacked directly as soon as they entered the woods, without giving Yun Chao's boys time to react, they might have been able to take advantage and even win.
Of course, this is only possible. In terms of skill, there is still a big gap between them and the thugs in the Lion House.
If Yun Chao and his party were to face off against the five thugs from the Lion House who were in good condition under such circumstances, there would be no certainty who would live and who would die!
Seeing that Seventh Brother was injured, Yun Chao's boys finally breathed a sigh of relief. The other party had put too much pressure on them.
Especially the new boys, if Yun Chao hadn't forced them to see blood before and participated in such a fierce battle, their claws would have been numb long ago!
However, just when everyone breathed a sigh of relief, they saw Brother Qi, who had a crossbow in his butt, actually climbed up, grabbed the saddle of a horse, and jumped on it!
"Drive! Drive!"
While all the boys were stunned, Brother Seven hit the horse's butt several times with the bow and arrow in his hand, and the horse jumped out like an arrow from the string!
"Ah, come on, come on, don't let him get away!"
