As soon as he finished speaking, the bandit leader raised his hand. In addition to the man carrying a crossbow, a group of bandits in front of him rode on horseback and launched a charge while waving scimitars.
Xi Junmai snorted coldly and went straight to greet him.
If these masked men used crossbows to deal with them, without a shield, Xi Junmai might still be a little helpless.
But these people rushed over screaming and waving machetes, just like delivering food. Obviously, these gangsters despised them.
There was not much distance between the two teams. The charging speed had not reached its maximum before they were already in close combat.
The gangsters on the opposite side fell to the ground with just a flash of the knife. Some were even cut into two pieces. The bright red blood instantly soaked the snow.
This surprised the bandit leader. His subordinates were all experienced warriors, but they didn't expect that they couldn't even meet each other.
More importantly, his scimitar collided with the opponent's horizontal sword and was cut off directly, which made him rub his eyes in disbelief.
It's too mythical. After traveling across the ocean to the Tang Dynasty, I have seen and heard a lot, but I have never seen anything so weird.
No wonder the employer would give him 100,000 yuan to buy his life, and he would be equipped with so many crossbows.
I originally wanted to use the money I got this time to buy weapons and return to my country to dominate and regain my original territory, but I didn't know that I ran into a tough problem.
While thinking, he caught a glimpse of the burly Xi Jun taking the lead. Every time he swung his sword, several of his men were injured. The bandit leader quickly shouted:
"Damn, that's a tough idea, kids, don't be careless, kill the guy in front first!"
In the leader's opinion, the reason why his men were vulnerable was because they underestimated the enemy. He never thought that these men had already perfected their killing skills.
After the battle with Tubo, Yang Fan's personal guards were baptized by blood and fire. As long as they faced the enemy, they would transform into messengers of hell who harvested lives.
The reason why the bandit leader pays more attention to Xi Junmai is because Xi Junmai's sword skills are very impressive.
If you observe carefully, you will actually find that Yang Fan's personal guards are more terrifying, because they have turned killing into an art.
Cooperating with each other and covering each other, each swing of the long sword, although lightly, can kill the enemy just right.
Before the charging gangsters could react, a small number of them became the target of a group of personal guards.
On Yang Fan's side, he was quite surprised to hear the shouts of the bandit leader.
Although I couldn't understand what the bandit leader was shouting, I could tell from the weird accent that it was in Fusang dialect.
Apart from the conflict with the Fusang envoy, he has never interacted with other Fusang people. Could these people be killers sent by the Fusang envoy?
While Yang Fan was deep in thought, Li Ke saw Xi Junmai and the others slaughtering their enemies like pigs and dogs, and his blood boiled with excitement. He could no longer hold back his inner agitation, and rushed straight to the battlefield with the rope lifted.
Seeing Li Ke's actions, Yang Fan shook his head helplessly. This guy really didn't want his life. He didn't have a long memory at all. Did he forget the experience of being captured alive by Tubo?
What's more, if this kid rushes forward, it will make all the guards frightened. This guy will simply add chaos.
However, if Li Ke was really injured, he would not be able to explain it to His Majesty Li Er. Yang Fan did not dare to stay and had to catch up quickly.
When Yang Fan entered the battlefield, these gangsters were even more defeated. Dozens of gangsters charging into the battle were slaughtered in an instant.
Even the gangsters behind were so frightened that they screamed. Although they didn't know what they were shouting, the fear in their hearts could be seen from their frightened faces.
The bandit leader was so frightened that his face turned pale. These people were simply the devils of hell.
I thought it was an easy job, but unexpectedly I encountered a group of devils.
However, he did not retreat, because there were more than a hundred people beside him, all with crossbows in their hands. He was well aware of the lethality of these crossbows.
No body of flesh and blood can withstand the lethality of a crossbow.
I originally wanted to use these crossbows to return home to fight for territory, but it seems that I have to use these big killers now.
It's just a pity that a crossbow is only equipped with five arrows...
Now that he saw his men being slaughtered, the bandit leader couldn't think too much. He gritted his teeth and shouted angrily: "Get your crossbow ready, let me fire it!"
More than a hundred gangsters raised their crossbows in order, aiming at Yang Fan and the others and fired at them.
The sound of the bow and arrow leaving the string is like a life-threatening horn, which makes people feel frightened.
Although Xi Junmai was on the killing spree, he was always observing the actions of the bandit leader. When he saw the drizzle of arrows, his expression changed and he shouted: "Protect the Marquis and His Highness."
The guards immediately formed a protective formation, their heads curled up, and they blocked Yang Fan and Li Ke with their bodies.
Because Yang Fan and the others were not wearing armor, their protective capabilities were the weakest.
The damage of the crossbow was too great, and the impact of the arrows collided fiercely with the armor of the guards, causing bursts of sparks.
The ding-ding-dong-dong sound makes people feel creepy.
Although the arrows of the crossbow did not break through the protective capabilities of the guards' armor, the huge impact also caused cracks in the guards' protection.
After all, these personal guards are humans, not gods.
As a weapon of mass destruction equipped in the army, crossbows are strictly prohibited from being spread among the people, which shows their horror.
If the bodyguard hadn't been wearing Yang Fan's specially made armor, he might have been shot into a hedgehog.
Seeing that the crossbow attack did not have the expected effect, the bandit leader looked horrified.
Although he continued to give orders and let his men shoot with bows and crossbows, he turned his horse's head and slowly retreated. It was obvious that he had already thought about retreating.
The attack power of the crossbow was indeed huge. After several rounds of arrow rain, the formation of the guards could no longer stop them. They were staggered by the huge impact of the crossbow.
There were even some personal guards who were injured by arrows.
There was a cold glint in Yang Fan's eyes, and it was obvious that someone behind the scenes must be causing trouble.
It would be impossible to obtain such a large number of crossbows from the Tang army with just these Fusang people. The people behind the scenes must be found out.
While using the long knife in his hand to continuously shoot away the arrows that broke through the guard's protection, he covered Li Ke's continuous retreat.
Because Yang Fan knew that in order to protect them, these personal guards lost the opportunity. Otherwise, the personal guards could have fought back with revolvers.
Now that Li Ke, a 'delicate' prince, is around, the guards appear to be timid.
Li Ke had just retreated a few feet when another round of arrow rain struck again.
Without the protection of his guards, facing the rain of arrows from the sky, Li Ke could only accept the judgment of fate with a look of despair.
Looking at Li Ke who was so frightened that he couldn't move, Yang Fan's expression changed and he shouted loudly: "Your Highness, get down quickly."
At the same time, he used all his strength to activate the golden bell cover and iron cloth shirt and pounced directly on Li Ke.
Finally, at the critical moment, he threw Li Ke down before the arrow rain arrived and protected him.
Even though he was protected by the golden bell cover and iron cloth shirt that he had practiced to the transformation state, Yang Fan still felt a stab of pain on his back.
Apparently, the arrows from the crossbow broke through the protection and penetrated into the flesh.
More importantly, the huge impact of the arrow almost knocked his breath away, and he became unable to move for a while.
Think about it, manpower is limited after all, so what if the outsider has mastered kung fu to the extreme?
Faced with weapons of mass destruction such as bows and crossbows in the army, martial arts seems a bit weak.
When Xi Junmai saw Yang Fan being shot to the ground with several arrows stuck in his back, he couldn't help shouting sadly: "Master Hou..."
Hearing Xi Junmai's sad cry, Wang Xiaojie, who was behind the scene, looked back and saw Yang Fan hit by an arrow in the back. He was shocked and turned pale, shouting angrily:
"Xi Junmai, didn't I ask you to protect Mr. Hou when I fucked you? Is this how you protect me?"
As he spoke, he shouted in a stern tone to the guards around him: "All officers and men, please obey the order, leave two people to deal with the gangsters behind, and the rest will follow you to rescue the Marquis."
As for the bandit leader, he had already planned his escape. Seeing that the leader of the other side was shot into a hedgehog by a crossbow, he suddenly felt happy.
He yelled loudly and waved his hands, causing more than a hundred of his subordinates to rush over.
After five rounds of firing, they had no more arrows!
But that's not important...
In the view of the bandit leader, as long as the opponent's leader dies, the opponent's guards will definitely be defeated. He has seen this situation too many times.
Originally, Xi Junmai and the guards were aggrieved because they had lost the opportunity to protect King Wu and the Marquis.
Now, the Marquis was killed by an arrow again under the protection of everyone, and the anger in his heart had accumulated to the extreme.
Now that there was room for a counterattack, the guard could no longer hold back the hatred in his heart and drew out his 'ghost hand' with red eyes and kept clicking to kill.
The sound of gunfire echoed through the mountain stream, and it was particularly clear among the cold snowy mountains.
Every time a gunshot was fired, at least one gangster would lose his life or fall off his horse. In just a few breaths, only a dozen of the more than a hundred gangsters were left.
This horrific scene frightened the remaining gangsters into screaming and running for their lives in panic.
It was a pity that these gangsters could not outrun the range of the revolver. After more than a dozen gunshots, all these gangsters returned to the underworld.
The bandit leader didn't dare to stay. He yelled at the men beside him at the top of his lungs, turned his horse's head and ran for his life in panic.
How could Xi Jun allow the bandit leader to escape, so he got on his horse and chased after him...
At this time, Yang Fan finally recovered and stood up. When he looked down, he realized that Li Ke's face was pale and he had obviously passed out.
He was shot with a crossbow at the root of his thigh, and his trouser legs were dyed red with blood.
Fortunately, his body and head were not seriously injured, which made Yang Fan breathe a sigh of relief.
The stinging pain in his back made Yang Fan take a breath. This was the first time Yang Fan had been injured since traveling to the Tang Dynasty.
This also let him know that even if he exchanges for martial arts, it still belongs to flesh and blood.
He bent his hand and pulled off an arrow from his back. The arrowhead was stained with blood, but fortunately there was no venom.
The wound was not very deep, which made Yang Fan breathe a sigh of relief. His feeling was indeed correct.
Although the crossbow injured him, it did not damage his internal organs.
At this time, Wang Xiaojie also came rushing from behind. Seeing that Yang Fan could still move, he said happily: "Fortunately, Mr. Hou is fine, otherwise Xiaojie will definitely be blamed for his death."
Seeing Wang Xiaojie crying and laughing, and the guards looking anxious, Yang Fan couldn't help but be moved, these people finally lived up to his training.
However, they also knew that now was not the time to express feelings. Although they would simply bandage it, Li Ke's thigh was shot all over. They had no choice but to rush to Junyangfang as soon as possible to find Sun Simiao.
Fortunately, we were already deep into the Qinling Mountains and were only over a hundred miles away from Junyangfang on the edge of the Qinling Mountains.
If you drive quickly, you can arrive there in more than an hour.
But Yang Fan knew that there were more important things to do at this time.
If the mastermind behind it is not found out, assassinations will continue in the future.
Although he was lucky enough to escape this time, if these enemies used bows and crossbows against his family, the consequences would be disastrous.
Only by catching the bandit leader and letting him reveal the mastermind behind it can future troubles be avoided.
Thinking of this, Yang Fan held back the pain and ordered Wang Xiaojie: "Xiaojie, hurry up and chase Xi Junbuy, don't let him kill the bandit leader!"
"promise!"
Although Wang Xiaojie looked tall and rough, he understood what Yang Fan meant after thinking about it.
Instructing the rest of the guards to take care of Yang Fan, Wang Xiaojie chased in the direction of Xi Maijun!
