Chapter 337 The Black Knight Attacks
Groups of black-armored soldiers gathered at night in the woods on the border of Chunfeng Town.
"Sir, the gathering has been completed!"
A capable soldier bowed and said.
The leader was a general wearing red armor with an unusually strong build. This person was none other than Liu Dong, the leader of the four major cavalry generals under Ji Rentu's command.
"The general has ordered us to attack Chunfeng Town at night, but the target is not some important figures from the Feng Shui Gang, but several caravan members from Yinren Town." Liu Dong's cold voice sounded in the clearing in the forest. , he glanced at everyone present. They were all soldiers led by himself, so their combat quality was naturally not bad.
The red-armored man paused and continued: "My request is very simple. Complete the task neatly and without any extraneous matters!"
A group of black-armored soldiers suddenly agreed.
At this time, the capable soldier who had just reported to him asked in a low voice: "Sir, if we attack Chunfeng Town secretly like this, the general will not be afraid..."
The soldier did not dare to say the rest, but Liu Dong naturally understood his worries.
"What can we do if we know this? A man who sells fish and transports salt, give him the courage. Will he dare to openly challenge us in Luoye City? Don't worry, we will not attack their real armed forces. This operation is just to knock down the mountain and shake the tiger. Kill the chicken to scare the monkey!" Liu Dong, who was wearing red armor, said with twinkling eyes.
Pairs of black-armored soldiers mounted the pitch-black horses one after another. Without Liu Dong's instructions, they turned into a black torrent and disappeared into the night.
The hooves of these horses are all wrapped in cotton, and the entire cavalry team is like a ghost in the night! Swift, silent, and full of killing intent!
Luo Yechen's "Black Rider" is the enemy's nightmare in the dark night.
…
The speed of the cavalry cannot be compared to that of human beings, let alone those who are being chased from behind.
Yi Xifeng felt the crossbow arrows coming towards them through the storm of sword light around him. Even if they deal with it carefully, the fair boy's internal energy will be exhausted a lot along the way.
"These people are too clingy. Do they plan to hang behind us like this?" Xia Mingfei asked helplessly.
"Captain Lu, be careful!" the boy with two swords suddenly warned.
I saw a crossbow arrow heading straight for the short-haired girl. The difference was that this crossbow arrow did not pause like the others. It paused for a moment in the sword curtain. The crossbow arrow exploded the moment it hit the sword curtain.
The powerful thunder and fire directly tore apart the sword curtain around Lu Huahua. After hearing Zhao Long's reminder, she also waved the black iron rod in her hand to defend herself.
Fortunately, Lu Huahua was a martial artist from the outside world, and her body-training skills were much better than Yi Xifeng's. It's just that his resistance to lightning is not as good as that of a fair boy.
Lu Huahua was originally located behind Yi Xifeng, not far from Zhang Yanshi in the third echelon. When the heroic young man saw his old partner being attacked by the "True Martial Crossbow Thunder", he ignored the crossbow arrow attack behind him and jumped up behind the girl, blocking her from the Demon-Breaking Crossbow attack that followed.
"Everyone, be careful. Although they don't have many crossbow mines in their hands, they must be careful to guard against sudden attacks." Zhang Yanshi glanced at everyone and warned.
Li Xintian pinched this finger in her hand, and the inner energy of the thick earth flowed into the earth along her feet.
With this unique skill "Kun Eye", she can already use this short-term fluctuation of internal energy to detect the location of the enemy.
"The enemy behind him has slowed down, and we can speed up." Through this radar-like stunt, Li Xintian can accurately observe the various activities of the enemy behind him on the ground.
Since coming out of the southwest city gate, the group has experienced nearly ten waves of arrow rain attacks. Although the density is not high, everyone has to be careful to defend themselves. Fortunately, although these black-armored soldiers were well-trained, their own martial arts realm was the level of the realm of power. After more than half an hour of chasing and fighting, their physical strength was naturally unable to keep up.
"Quick, let's increase the speed first. If the enemy general notices that the soldiers' physical strength has declined, he will change new tactics!" Zhang Ming, the leader, naturally heard the conversation here and reminded him.
As the saying goes, predict the enemy first, and that's what it means.
Qin Kai stood on a hill and found that Zhang Ming and his group in front suddenly accelerated their advance, and even the eight-sided sword curtain released by Yi Xifeng became somewhat sparse.
The armored man sneered and said, "You are actually moving faster within the attack range of the Demon-Breaking Crossbow! Are you trying to be a target?"
Then he gave the order to pursue!
As long as the opponent can withstand two waves of arrows while moving at such a high speed, he firmly believes that there will be gains.
But after a few breaths, the soldiers who had been well trained in the past could not pick up the speed. The enemy he saw was getting farther and farther away, and he was about to jump out of the attack range of his own Demon-Breaking Crossbow.
A general stumbled over and said in a trembling voice: "General, general... the soldiers can't run anymore! They have been running for more than thirty miles!"
For ordinary people, a thirty-mile journey is extremely difficult to accomplish. Even for those who practice martial arts, marching thirty miles in just half an hour is a huge challenge.
And these black-armored soldiers couldn't help but be fully armed, carrying demon-breaking crossbows and wearing black armor. It is also necessary to constantly replace the crossbow arrows and launch them.
Being able to sustain a thirty-mile night march is enough to be called an "elite division."
Qin Kai looked at the people who had run away, with a trace of amusement leaking out of the corner of his mouth. He murmured: "That's right, I'll let you toss around a little longer!"
………………Dividing line………………
Liu Dong quickly sneaked into Chunfeng Town with his elite black cavalry.
But the red-armored man didn't know that when they were heading here, the Feng Shui Gang's intelligence department received this news.
Yan Qing looked at the case in his hand with a proud smile on his face.
That's right, this third hall leader is the head of the intelligence department of Chunfeng Town.
The division of labor in Chunfeng Town is actually very clear. The boss, Yan Mingbo, is both the mayor and the leader of the Feng Shui Gang. In charge of all affairs of Chunfeng Town.
Tianzitang, the leader of the hall, Hao Xinhu, is mainly responsible for the armed forces of Chunfeng Town, and is also the person in charge of the Fengshui Gang's water transportation.
Di Zi Tang, Tang Zhang Yaoyao, is mainly responsible for the money and finance of Chunfeng Town, and is also the person in charge of Feng Shui Gang's trade.
Renzitang, the leader of the hall, Yan Qingguan, is mainly responsible for the infrastructure construction of Chunfeng Town, and is also the person in charge of Fengshui Gang intelligence.
This is why he was the one who came out to meet Zhou Di and others at the dock. When Yan Mingbo welcomed Ji Rentu into Chunfeng Town, he had predicted that Yinren Town would not give up. No. 5
Yan Mingbo knew the geographical location of Chunfeng Town, which made him have heroic aspirations but no place to use them. But he was not willing to be manipulated like this, so he decided to make the water in Luoye County even muddier!
"It seems that Ji Rentu is just as big brother said. Haha, Kong has the ability to lead troops in war, but he comes to our Chunfeng Town to take credit! Since he is here, he must be prepared to be tricked!" Yan Qingguan said to himself.
…
"Sir, the fisherman's house on the hillside in front is where Yinren Zhong's family is located." The capable soldier bowed and said to his lord.
Liu Dong sat on his mount and stared at the dim fishermen in the distance. It was almost midnight. Their group was originally stationed near the border of Chunfeng Town, just to take care of his master. If anything happened, he could bring this army to kill him and rescue his master.
Entering the hinterland of Spring Breeze this time, they had no way of hiding their whereabouts. If they were to hide, the most they could do was wrap the horses' hooves with cotton cloth, so as not to alert others. As for the hidden sentries left along the way to Chunfeng Town, they automatically ignored them.
After all, both parties know very well that one is acting and the other is watching, both are indispensable.
"Surround us first and have everyone prepare their magic-breaking crossbows. If there is any resistance, just shoot and kill them!" Liu Dong didn't have much favorable impressions of Yinren's people.
The battle in Tiexin Village half a year ago was regarded by the red-armored man as a stain on his military career. Although he survived, his soldiers suffered heavy casualties.
…
Zhou Di listened to everyone's speculations and felt that things were gradually revealing their clues. Many previous doubts have been explained. Even the rumor that Yan Mingbo hates Ji Rentu can be found out.
"Wait a moment!"
Suddenly, Wang Bodang, who was standing at the door, raised his hand and said.
Everyone cast their doubtful eyes on the sturdy young man. At this time, he was dressed as a coachman and had wrinkles painted on his face, making him look like a middle-aged man.
"What's wrong?" Lin Fenghuo, who had dark skin, asked. Among everyone present, Lin Fenghuo and Wang Bodang had the best relationship. After all, they often drank together and had very similar temperaments and personalities.
Uncle Wang frowned and said, "That's not right!"
As soon as these words came out, everyone was shocked. They were on a mission with other forces this time, so they were naturally extremely vigilant. The purpose of the strong young man could not be more clear.
Zhou Di, as the person with the highest level of cultivation among the people, immediately sent out internal energy fluctuations to investigate. But after a few breaths, the young man holding the halberd frowned and said: "There is nothing abnormal!"
Wang Bodang still had a gloomy look on his face. He looked out through the crack in the door into the darkness, and deliberately lowered his voice and said, "I didn't feel any internal fluctuations."
Hearing this, Qi Chengcheng on one side breathed a sigh of relief and muttered: "Is it okay to be scared at night?"
"However, I can conclude that there must be a problem." Wang Bodang said word by word.
…
Black Cavalry placed his horses on the opposite hillside, and they carefully surrounded the fisherman's house.
This fisherman's house is located halfway up the mountain, and there are no other fishermen around. It looks a bit lonely. It is convenient for this group of black-armored soldiers to encircle them.
A black-armored soldier held the magic-breaking crossbow in his hand and approached the fisherman's house step by step.
They were not worried that they would be discovered by the other party. Due to the large number of people this time and the fact that they were equipped with magic-breaking crossbows, they could form an encirclement from a long distance away. In this way, when the scope is narrowed, even if it is discovered, it will be too late.
This is why Zhou Di didn't notice this group of people just now when he was using his inner energy wave induction. They were not close to here at that time and were beyond the range of perception.
Of course, the perception here refers to normal conditions. If there is a warrior like Li Xintian in the room who has learned the unique skill of "Kun Eye", then this tactic will still have no effect.
Seeing that the whole courtyard of the fisherman's house was within the shooting range of the Demon-Breaking Crossbow, Liu Dong, who was wearing red armor, waved his hand and said flatly: "Solley!"
"Buzz buzz!"
There were four hundred demon-breaking crossbow arrows heading straight for this fisherman's house. The next moment, this dimly lit house was shot into ruins!
An arrow from the Demon-Breaking Crossbow is enough to withstand a blow from a Mang Realm warrior! This small fisherman's hut was as fragile as scraps of paper under this rain of arrows!
"My lord, they have all been destroyed!" A soldier ran to Liu Dong and reported in a low voice.
As one of the four cavalry generals fighting on one side, he knew the power of these crossbows. Four hundred magic-breaking crossbows, let alone the Zhong family caravan, even if there were four chivalrous warriors in the room, they would still die. born.
"Clean the battlefield and see if there are any survivors! Remember, you don't need to take back the arrows, just insert them here." Liu Dong ordered his subordinates.
In fact, cleaning the battlefield was just his own practice. His bloody cruelty towards prisoners was also an important reason why he won Ji Rentu's love. After all, Ji Rentu's "human slaughter" came from his brutal killing of prisoners.
What the man really wanted to tell his subordinates was not to take back the arrows.
The purpose of this attack on Chunfeng Town to kill Yinren's caravan was to give Yan Mingbo a beating and let him know the gap between the forces of the two sides. In the eyes of men like them who are fighting on the battlefield, sometimes there are no good words to say, so why not A little banging will do the trick.
However, just as the black-armored soldiers approached the house that had been shot into ruins, a figure suddenly rushed out from the ruins. This man was surrounded by purple thunder and lightning, and a square halberd seemed to attract thunder from heaven and earth, heading straight towards the nearest group of black-armored soldiers.
"No! There's an enemy attack!" This group of soldiers was obviously stunned by the scene before them. It was hard for them to believe that anyone could survive such a dense rain of arrows.
The surrounding soldiers immediately picked up their magic-breaking crossbows and were busy loading new crossbow arrows.
But before they could load the crossbows, many black-armored soldiers fell to the ground. Maybe there was no one behind them, leaving only a faint golden cross.
Time goes back to before the tea ceremony.
Although Wang Bodang did not feel any abnormal fluctuations in his inner energy, the strong young man with rich jungle experience still discovered something unusual.
Just now, the cicadas surrounding them, who were originally chirping cheerfully, collectively silenced themselves.
It was just when the cicadas stopped chirping that Liu Dongzheng led a group of black-armored soldiers to slowly surround their fisherman's hut.
Zhou Di naturally chose to believe Wang Bodang's judgment and waited for everyone to enter the fisherman's cellar.
This fisherman's house is built on the hillside, and the main reason is because of this huge cellar. The terrain of Chunfeng River is flat and there are many river branches. If fishermen along the river dig cellars, water will seep out without digging deep.
If you want to build a cellar to store things, you must choose it halfway up the mountain far away from the river bank.
