These swordsmen of the general altar, who use the wind and dust to appear and disappear, are like Japanese ninjas. Although these archers of the Jin army are not incapable of close combat, many of them were even excellent infantry warriors before becoming archers. Because of their strength Great talents will be selected to join the Shenjian Battalion. This is also a tradition of the old Chu army, but they are used to fighting in formations. Even in jumping battles, they are face to face, one-on-one fighting, like these Tianshi Taoist generals. The swordsmen of the altar used the smoke and fog to appear and disappear. They suddenly appeared with a stabbing attack. I had never seen it before. In just a few minutes, two to three hundred people fell, and the opponent they killed was There are probably only about ten swordsmen.
When Luo Shangwen saw that the situation was not good, he said in a deep voice: "Pull them all together, back to back, and watch your steps."
As he spoke, six or seven nearby personal guards came forward to protect him. Some of them had already picked up the shields left by the dead soldiers on the ground and stood in front of them. They held their knives behind the shields and stared at their feet. , and some of the sergeants guarding the small shield formation simply picked up their big bows again, strung their arrows, and nervously pointed outside the shield. If there was any sign of trouble, they would immediately shoot out an arrow.
There were two or three swordsmen in red who wanted to attack Luo Shangwen's small shield formation. However, they just rushed out and while they were still rolling on the ground, they fired consecutive arrows at the archers in the shield formation. There were two actions. Quickly, he quickly kicked off the ground and retreated, disappearing into the smoke and dust again.
But the guy who was the most daring at the front was not so lucky. Several arrows passed by and all hit his body. He rolled twice on the ground with the arrow shaft stuck in it.
But this rolling broke the arrow shaft, and the arrowhead penetrated deeper into the body until it submerged into the body. A bloody path three or four steps long appeared on the ground, and the guy just rolled to less than two steps away from the shield formation. Where he was, he was still struggling to wave the long sword in his hand to attack the legs and feet of the Jin army inside the shield.
Luo Shangwen sneered: "It seems you won't stop until you die." He picked up a five-foot-long spear he just picked up on the ground and pointed it at the red swordsman. The spear stabbed his neck hard, and a blood hole the size of a tea cup was opened immediately. Broken throat bone fragments spurted out from the blood hole, and the red-eyed swordsman , all the seven orifices spurted out blood, the hand holding the sword finally let go, his head tilted, and he died like this.
Luo Shangwen laughed, flicked his wrist hard, and pulled the spear back and forth, completely slicing the red-eyed swordsman's neck. The dead head rolled up on the ground, and in the cavity of his neck, Blood flowed out like a fountain, and only the hand that had abandoned the sword was still twitching slightly.
Luo Shangwen saw this and yelled: "Tighten it all up like this, shoot with bows and arrows from a distance, stab with spears and spears at close range, and then slash with a knife when you are close to face to face. Stay away from the smoke and dust, and keep within ten steps to see clearly."
Before he finished speaking, a bright white light flashed and struck quickly. The sergeants in front of him shouted: "Captain, be careful." Then there was a wave of shields, and more than a dozen bright daggers were nailed to the On top of the wooden shield. But no one was hurt. The archers behind the shields fired indiscriminately at the direction of the daggers. Two groans came out, and a few faint blood mist rose up, but it seemed that two more people were hit by arrows. Down, and several other figures quickly rolled out without a trace.
Luo Shangwen laughed loudly and said: "Remember to guard with shields and shoot with bows and arrows from a long distance. The demon thieves don't have any weapons that can cause group damage. Just guard against their flying knives."
The surrounding archers also gathered together like this, either in a group of more than ten people, or in a small team of six or seven people, all forming small formations back to back. This time it had a miraculous effect. The general swordsman of Tianshi Dao They could no longer find the lone Jin troops to hunt. Trying to attack these small groups was like hitting a turtle shell. They were often shot back by bows and arrows before they could get close enough. The ones with stronger martial arts skills could advance within five feet. Within a few seconds, they would be stabbed by two or three spears. Those who were unlucky would be stabbed directly into bloody gourds on the ground. Those who were more lucky would not be able to roll forward into the attack range of the long sword and could only Retreating without success, even when retreating, you must be careful of the opponent's bow and arrow shooting. If you are not careful, your life will be left.
The battle situation that was one-sided just now suddenly reversed, but the hunters turned into the archers of the Jin army who were waiting for the rabbit, and the prey turned into these red-clothed swordsmen of Tianshi Dao. After a sharp whistle, all attempts were made. All the swordsmen of the general altar who attacked the Jin army's shield formation retreated into the thick black smoke caused by the fire and disappeared.
The battlefield suddenly fell into silence. The battlefield that was very lively just now, apart from the sound of raging fire, there was only the sound of shouts of death in the distance. The swordsmen of the Tianshi Dao General Altar suddenly appeared. , the shrill screams during the assassination, the screams that frightened the soul and disturbed the mind, all disappeared without a trace like these swordsmen, and there were more than thirty unrecognizable Zongtan swords on the ground. The corpses of the soldiers were mixed together with the corpses of more than 200 Jin archers, recording the brutality of the battle just now.
Luo Shangwen frowned slightly, and the guard on one side whispered: "Captain, what should we do now? Do we want to go into the smoke and dust to chase these demon thieves?"
Luo Shangwen shook his head: "If they enter the smoke and dust of the fire, they will not pose a threat to us. It is impossible to cross the line of fire and go back to kill our frontline sergeants. There are more than twenty sky lanterns flying behind. We have to hurry up and shoot down these damn Kongming Lanterns, we can’t let them fly up to the formation and throw these jars of kerosene.”
The surrounding sergeants nodded in unison and said, "Listen to the captain, we will go back to pursue him now."
Several shield hands on the periphery were about to put down their shields and turn around to run back. Luo Shangwen said quickly: "Absolutely not. We can't break up the formation now. The demon thief swordsmen are very fast and may pursue them at any time. We have to move first like this Form a shield and retreat, and only after you have passed a safe distance of thirty steps can you turn around and pursue the enemy."
As he spoke, he directed his small shield formation to retreat slowly, while the messengers around him quickly blew their horns and conveyed his orders to each small battle formation accurately and quickly. Quickly, the remaining six to seven hundred archers retreated quickly, moving towards the direction of the main formation like the ebbing sea water.
A roaring sound came from the fire scene: "You want to leave like this? Dream on! Jin Gou, the anger of the Heavenly Master will surely destroy your monster bodies!"
