Tan Pingzhi stomped his feet bitterly, and while continuing to fire arrows, he stepped back and shouted to Tan Daoji on the side: "Retreat, retreat quickly!"
However, the soldiers of the Beifu Army had completely fallen into a situation of being passively beaten. In order to rescue Bao Sizhi, they dispersed their formation and broke into the forest in small groups. The long spears and heavy spears in their hands, which could be arrayed, were beaten by Blocked by dense trees and grass, they cannot exert their power at all. Many people cannot even swing their weapons. If they move a little, these six-seven-foot-long or even longer spears will hang on the branches, or When meeting comrades around, how can we take advantage of the long and strong advantages of these arrayed weapons?
As for the formation, there is no way to talk about it. The swordsman disciples of Tianshi Dao are all holding three-foot long swords. These long swords made of fine steel cut iron like mud and have abnormal sharp edges. Xu Daofu this time They brought with them all general guards who had experienced hundreds of battles. Their movements were as fast as apes, and their thrusts were as fierce as cheetahs. Even the soldiers of the Beifu Army with long and heavy armor were weak in the face of their attacks.
Many of these veterans who had been drafted into the army since the Battle of Feishui did not even have the chance to throw away the spears in their hands and draw their long swords or broadswords. They were left to the swarming Tianshi Dao swordsmen who came closer. The swords came down and inserted through the gaps between the armors. Under the ribs, at the knees, at the throat, at the elbows, and on the face. These places that could not be protected by the heavy armor became the targets of the Tianshi Dao swordsmen's concentrated attacks. More than ten long swords attacked one person at the same time. Sixty-seven vital points were hit by arrows, and blood gushed out like a fountain. After he fell weakly, someone directly inserted a sword into his face, and it came out through his head. Even his original face was gone. Unable to identify.
The more than 300 soldiers and horses brought by Tan Pingzhi into the forest were almost completely destroyed. The situation of the more than 200 people in the central army was not much better. Sixty or seventy people were already among the disciples of Tianshi Dao. Under the crazy attack, they were killed on the spot. The remaining people finally gathered together and formed a circular formation, connected end to end. The archers were outside and the archers were inside the circle, desperately shooting arrows outwards. One person shot at least more than two hundred arrows. Even the six-stone iron-tied big bow was pulled loose, and the bowstring no longer regained its original tension. And his right arm was as heavy as lead, naked. On the outer arm, blue veins popped out, and the whole arm was swollen red. The speed of firing arrows was getting slower and slower, and the power of firing was getting smaller and smaller. Anyone could see that this No. 1 soldier of the Beifu Army A master archer has reached the end of his rope.
Xu Daofu held a big bow and walked forward slowly, accompanied by a group of guards. More than 5,000 disciples in the forest had already come out of the ambush and killed more than 1,000 Haiyan militiamen. , not a single person was left alive, and Tan Pingzhi's Beifu vanguard was also dead and wounded, and the number of soldiers in the inner circle who fought and retreated was less than a hundred. Above the treetops and in the grass, there were countless elusive Celestial Masters. The archers all leaned out, condescendingly, and kept pouring bows and arrows towards the retreating military formation.
Xu Daofu drew his bow and nocked an arrow, and shot out an arrow. Sixty steps away, there was a scream. A warrior from the Beifu Army who was swinging a sword in front of the circle was none other than Kuai En. The arrow hit him right above his left eye. Kuai En screamed, his knees weakened, and he fell to the sky. He grabbed twice with both hands in vain, trying to pull out the arrow in his eye. Liu Zhong on the side quickly abandoned the weapon in his hand and dragged Kuai En away. Toward the formation.
Quin's companions in the back row quickly took up his place, but the sergeant who came up had at least six or seven scars on his body. He was bleeding everywhere, and even the short spear in his hand could hardly be waved. In just a moment, he was beaten back six or seven steps. If the companions on the left and right sides had not helped him block a few swords, he would have died on the spot.
Tan Pingzhi roared angrily and shot out an arrow, heading straight for Xu Daofu. However, the usually thunderous arrow fell weakly at more than fifty steps. Xu Daofu even stood there with a smile on his face. On the spot, he watched the arrow land feebly about five steps in front of him. It couldn't even penetrate into the soft mud under his feet, but fell to the ground.
Xu Daofu smiled and shook his head: "Is this the skill of the best archer in the Beifu Army? Tan Pingzhi, you are at the end of your rope. If you abandon your weapons and fight, I can spare your life. Otherwise, if I give the order, I will kill you now." Attack, none of you will survive!"
Tan Pingzhi gritted his teeth, and Xu Chite on the other side wanted to yell loudly, but Tan Pingzhi whispered: "Chite, don't waste your energy. Our situation is critical now, and we have to think about breaking out." OK."
Tan Daoji pulled out an arrow stuck on his shoulder, and regardless of the blood gushing out, he whispered: "Uncle, I'm afraid we can't stand out. We are all heavily armored, and we can't outrun these demon thieves." .”
Tan Shao waved the big knife in his hand bitterly: "It's really not possible. If you fight for one, you will be enough. If you fight for two, you will make money..."
Just as he was about to continue speaking, blood spurted out from a sword wound between his waist and abdomen, which made the muscles on his face throb in pain, but he could no longer speak.
Tan Pingzhi turned to look at Quin behind him. He was no longer standing on the ground, but was being held up by two sergeants with a pole. A long arrow was inserted into his left eye. , bloody and bloody, this iron bull-like giant looked like a dead man at this moment. The only remaining right eye had a pupil that dilated or shrank from time to time, and the heartbreaking pain made his hands clenched tightly. fisted, without saying a word.
Tan Pingzhi gritted his teeth: "Dazhuang, we have to break out separately. Don't worry, I will take you personally."
Quin forced out a smile and gritted his teeth and said: "No, no, it's okay. I, I'm afraid I can't survive. Staying here will only drag you down. You guys, run away quickly. Don't worry about me!"
Tan Pingzhi said sternly: "What nonsense are you talking about?! We Beifu brothers will never abandon or abandon a companion. We will either live together or die together."
Xu Daofu laughed: "Well said, then I will help you today and let you die together! The archers are ready. After three rounds of arrow rain, the swordsmen will attack across the board. Don't let any enemy soldiers go."
He raised his right hand as he spoke, and was about to issue an order for a full-scale attack. Suddenly, a dull sound of drums and horns sounded on the grass outside the forest, a calm and majestic voice that made everyone in the woods. He heard clearly: "Xu Daofu, Liu Yu is here, see if you have the ability, let me and my brothers die together!"
