Drivers divided into two teams.
Forty people held shields and armor, ready to defend against the attacking killers.
The other twenty archers uniformly poured fuel on the ground and threw fire sticks on top, instantly forming a line of fire.
"drink!"
The twenty archers shouted loudly, and at the same time they bent down and dipped the fuel cloth behind the arrow into the firelight.
When they stood up straight, the rockets in their hands lit up the night sky and fired towards the killers who rushed towards the carriage brandishing their weapons.
The fire brought light, allowing the killers to finally see clearly the situation near the carriage.
Unexpectedly, all the drivers were shot and killed. Except for a cart containing perfume that fell to the ground and the box was shot through a corner, the entire team of people, not to mention shot and killed, did not even have a scratch.
The reason is also very simple.
The shield, which shimmered coppery black under the firelight, had been pockmarked by successive rounds of arrows, as if it would be pierced by a few more rounds of arrows.
but.
However, they were not penetrated, but were held in the hands of thirty or forty people, and were still prepared to resist the next round of attacks.
The older lead killer finally realized that the raid had failed.
Not only did they fail, they would also face a more violent counterattack.
He used his knife to cut off the rockets that were fired at him.
But because he was in the middle of a rice field, the flames that fell quickly burst out and burned around his feet, making him tremble and shout.
"withdraw!"
"Quickly retreat!"
Not even ten feet away.
The older lead assassin recognized the person who gave the order at a glance.
Ning Feng!
Although this man is just a small school officer now, he was once a general serving the current emperor and experienced hundreds of battles.
When it comes to fighting alone, he has no ability to defeat Ning Feng.
And when it comes to group fights, can they, a group of unorganized and undisciplined killers, be able to defeat Ning Feng, who once led an army of tens of thousands?
cannot.
At the same time, he also recognized the two most powerful officials in Jinling Mansion, Jinling Magistrate Jiang Yan and garrison garrison Yu Zhengrong, standing beside Ning Feng.
"This is not an ordinary convoy transporting perfume!"
The older leader, the killer, was yelling angrily as he retreated back.
"Does he want us to be wiped out?"
There were three court officials present, especially Jiang Yan and Yu Zhengrong. One was a civil official with the highest authority in Jinling Mansion, and the other was a military general with the highest military power in Jinling Mansion.
What is the difference between killing them and rebelling?
It's fine that the killers didn't know about the itinerary of officials like this. Zhou An was a young marquis, how could he not know the dangers involved?
"week……"
The older leader killer was about to ask the brothers around him where that boy Zhou An was hiding. He had to step forward at this moment and minimize the big problem, treating it as a misunderstanding to eliminate the immediate trouble.
But before he finished speaking, the left side of his neck suddenly felt cold, and blood covered half of his face.
The older leader killer tilted his neck and looked in horror at Ning Weiguo, who was holding a long knife and cut off half of his neck with one blow. He opened his mouth and spurted out a large mouthful of blood.
He was wrong.
There were more than three court officials present.
Instead there are four.
Ning Weiguo, the official of Jinling Prefecture!
No wonder.
No wonder those coachmen were so well-trained. They turned out to be officers and soldiers of Jinling Prefecture.
This time, let Zhou An kill them!
Crack!
Ning Weiguo almost cut off the head of the older leading killer with a knife, then blocked a sneak attack with a steel knife and kicked the opponent three steps away.
Duh!
The flying rocket happened to hit this person.
"Ouch!"
The unlucky killer was shot in the chest, and his face was instantly buried in the burning flames.
The ear-piercing screams rang in Ning Weiguo's ears, but he didn't even look at it from the corner of his eye. Like a wolf entering a flock of sheep, he rushed towards the other leaders based on what he had just observed through the gap. .
"Hurry and stop him!"
"Kill him quickly!"
The several killer leaders who were targeted, faced with such a powerful Ning Weiguo, were afraid of being hit again during the retreat, so they had no choice but to unite and fight back.
Ning Feng, who was standing in front of the carriage, saw this, clenched the Tiger Head Guan Dao in his hand, and shouted orders to the archers.
"Cover Ning Zhaomo!"
"Twenty pioneers come out!"
Three rounds of rocket fire have been fired, but the killers have always chosen to engage in close combat, with no intention of fighting back.
Ning Feng immediately judged that the arrows they carried had been used up.
The three rounds of rockets just now had seriously injured 30% of the killers, and blocked all of their escape routes with fire. All they needed to do next was to line up and charge in, and fight until the opponent surrendered, and the battle was over.
call!
Ning Feng waved his long arm, and the Tiger Head Guan Dao in his hand made a clanging sound that shook the eardrums.
See this.
Ning Wuyang hurriedly jumped out of the car and rushed out of the surrounding shields that had dispersed.
"Grandpa, no!"
"These raiders should be killers. They will never surrender. I think we should continue to attack from a distance to make them lose their subsequent combat effectiveness."
In a scheming war, only the ruthless can win!
Since these killers are determined to help Zhou An, they can only die here with Zhou An.
Ning Feng was quite surprised by Ning Wuyan's words.
The killers who were closest were about ten feet away, and with their faces covered, it was impossible to tell who was who. How did the good grandson know that they were killers?
At this time.
But she saw Zhou Jingxian walking in front of the corpse of a killer, bending down to pick up a dagger, and then echoed in a deep voice: "These people are indeed the killers of Sangen Pavilion. In order to facilitate the collection of corpses and the settlement of descendants, the weapons they use are all Marked.”
A killer is actually here to attack them?
Jiang Yan and Yu Zhengrong looked at each other and thought of the rain of arrows that filled the sky just now, and felt "good" in their hearts.
Something isn't quite right.
Ordinary assassins focus on concealment, so how could they make such a big noise?
Moreover, making large quantities of bows and arrows requires government registration. Where did these killers get these bows and arrows?
All questions must wait until the person is caught alive and must be interrogated thoroughly!
"Fire three more rounds of rockets to cover Ning Zhao and grind them down."
After Ning Feng learned that the intruders were not robbers, but killers, he knew that there was almost no possibility of surrender by this group of people, and he immediately adjusted his combat operations.
A killer like this who dares to attack an official's convoy will definitely be carrying human lives on his back.
They will be punished for several crimes and surrendering will mean death. They will definitely try their best to find a way to survive.
"Kill!"
"Stop retreating, we're catching you from behind!"
"Fight with these officers and soldiers!"
as expected.
Even if the killers knew that there were officers and soldiers blocking the road ahead, they never thought of surrendering when they encountered a situation that wanted to kill them.
With the road blocked by the fire line, they did not intend to continue retreating, but wanted to fight to the death to find a way out.
"kill!"
Ning Feng and Yu Zhengrong gave the order almost in unison.
The rockets in the sky were aimed at the killers who were about to cross Ning Weiguo and tried to outflank him.
Duh duh duh!
Without the defensive power of a shield, relying solely on the body, there was no way it could withstand the rockets that filled the sky.
In particular, rockets are different from ordinary feathered arrows. Even if they miss the target, if the arrows cannot be pulled out in time and the fire is extinguished, they will be extremely lethal.
"Ahhhh!!!"
A killer who was shot in both legs kept rolling in the rice fields, trying to extinguish the flames on his body.
But due to the dry weather, fuel, and the fact that he was in a flammable rice field.
With the "cracking" and "cracking" flames licking the ears of rice, they made a crackling sound.
The killer gradually became silent, lying quietly on the spot and turned into a ball of fire.
The fire is still spreading to the inside and outside of the rice field where the killers are.
Zhou An, who missed the best opportunity to escape because he slapped the mute guard, felt like he was about to be melted by the surrounding fire, but his body seemed to be frozen and he stood on the spot, not knowing what to do.
