"There's no need to fight, keep retreating!" Li Xiang ordered the surrounding guards.
Not to mention that this was a trap set up by Li Xiang, reinforcements would definitely arrive several times faster than normal. Even if there is really an ambush, there is nothing to be afraid of.
Seven thousand people came to surround them and kill them. With just a dozen of them, they couldn't defeat them. However, it is still very easy to protect your own life at the very least.
After all, they don't need to defeat the enemy, they just need to retreat and escape.
Leaving aside the guards of the Tiger Guard, although Li Xiang only has a basic strength of 101 and has just entered the peerless world, he has a powerful enough skill that no one below the god level can be his opponent. Even if he has just entered the god level, there are still a few who can guarantee that he can defeat him, Li Xiang!
As for Xing Tian and Dian Wei, they are at the pinnacle of god level and one of the most powerful people in the world. The other one is also at the pinnacle of the world, and is enough to be considered a master in today's world.
Such three people want to leave, so how can these more than 7,000 people stop them.
Therefore, the opponent seems to be outnumbered and difficult for them to resist. However, this alone is not enough to threaten their lives. If they can't defeat them, can they still not escape?
"Damn it!" Seeing that there were thousands of them and they couldn't even deal with a dozen of them, the few children of the aristocratic families hidden in the crowd roared incompetently.
However, this situation surprised and surprised the children of the aristocratic families, but Wei Wensheng and Ma Shumou were not surprised.
Those disciples from aristocratic families do have some talents, otherwise they would not have been sent out by their respective families to perform such tasks. However, it is just some talent. Being talented and having great talent are definitely two completely different things.
These days, children of aristocratic families enjoy elite education anyway. Han officials are basically from the aristocratic family class. Therefore, most children of aristocratic families still have the basic qualities. However, when it comes to great talents, the number of those at the level of Xun Yu and Tian Feng is very limited.
What's more, these children of aristocratic families have never even seen a battlefield before, and they are not military generals. Although they have heard of the evil names of the following people, their understanding of their power is inferior to that of Wei Wensheng and Ma Shumou. But that's not even close.
"Archers, prepare!" Wei Wensheng said coldly.
Since ancient times, there have been many archers. Archers who have reached a certain size will throw arrow feathers, and any master will kneel down when he comes.
"Quick, protect!" As soon as these archers appeared, they were already noticed by the keen Li Xiang.
Li Xiang and the others would naturally not write anything on their shields, but on the battlefield, they had to learn to use local materials. After all, on the battlefield, any accident can happen, and everything cannot go as planned.
And here, although there are no shields, there are a lot of corpses, so it is still possible to temporarily use them as human shields.
"Pfft!" The sound of several arrows hitting the flesh sounded quietly, but in the noisy battlefield, this subtle sound would not be noticed by anyone at all.
However, although the sound would not be noticed, the figures of several Tiger Guards who fell unwillingly were seen by Li Xiang. Not only these tiger guards, but also Dian Wei's shoulder was hit by an arrow.
"Ding, Dian Wei Erlai's skill effect three is activated. When protecting the master, his own force +3, and the current force increases to..."
"Quick, protect the lord, it's a powerful crossbow!" Dian Wei didn't even bother to take a look at his injuries, but anxiously shouted to the surroundings.
Crossbow arrows are different from bow arrows, and there are certain differences between the arrows of a powerful crossbow and those of ordinary crossbows. If this difference were put in the eyes of ordinary people, naturally they would not be able to notice it at all.
However, if this is placed in the hands of someone who has been in the army for more than ten years and deals with these things every day, naturally they will not be able to detect the difference.
What's more, ordinary archers don't have the arm strength to shoot through a corpse with one arrow to kill the people behind.
Therefore, Dian Wei judged at a glance that this was not an ordinary feather arrow at all, but a crossbow arrow used in a powerful crossbow.
After hearing Dian Wei's reminder, the remaining guards immediately surrounded Li Xiang, using their bodies to block the sight of the archers.
This is a powerful crossbow, with huge lethality within a short distance. In fact, as long as it does not exceed a certain distance, even ordinary iron armor has a certain probability of breaking through the defense. This kind of thing must be resisted with a heavy shield when fighting.
To describe it simply, the crossbow machine of the first to board the dead soldier is equipped with this kind of thing. And these powerful crossbows have also become the sharpest weapons for the soldiers to restrain the cavalry.
"Quickly, find a bunker!" After hearing the appearance of a powerful crossbow, Li Xiang became a little uneasy.
Facing a powerful crossbow, continuing to retreat like this is equivalent to being a living target. Instead of doing this, it would be better to find a nearby area that can be blocked for defense. Anyway, it won't take long for their reinforcements to arrive.
Strong crossbow, this is Wei Wensheng's real backup plan. Yang Jian has been operating in Yongzhou for many years, and Li Xiang has only conquered Yongzhou for a long time. Yang Jian's influence cannot be eliminated in a moment.
Wei Wensheng used Yang Jian's influence to bring over a group of powerful crossbows. Of course, there will definitely not be too many in number, only eighteen.
After all, this kind of thing is absolutely controlled in any prince's territory. Moreover, compared to bows and arrows, the technical content of crossbows is not low. Some crossbow production technologies and corresponding talents were mostly controlled by the government in the past dynasties.
Bows and arrows can be owned privately, and professions such as Orion naturally require the assistance of bows and arrows. However, private ownership of crossbows was not allowed, let alone strong crossbows. Once discovered, not to mention being jailed, if serious, there may even be a risk of death.
The quantity is too small, and if it is put on the bright side, the effect that can be achieved is limited. Therefore, Wei Wensheng hid these strong crossbowmen among ordinary archers just to catch them by surprise.
Now it seems that Wei Wensheng's move has a good effect, and it has indeed caused a lot of trouble to Li Xiang.
In this world, no matter who makes the calculation, the process will not develop exactly as he or she envisions. In this process, there will be some variables. However, I don’t know how much impact it will have on the final result.
But this time, the appearance of these powerful crossbows can be regarded as the occurrence of a variable.
