Yuantian

Wu Yuan, Gu Ji, Wu Xiong and the others rode Xishuang's big horses, spared no effort in horsepower, and along the flat official road, they covered tens of miles in just half an hour.

It also gradually moved away from the city and went deep into the wilderness of the countryside.

Here is the world of land bandits and water thieves.

In the distance, you can see a vast hilly area in the distance, undulating and rolling, and a large number of trees grow in the hills.

The official road runs through a gorge in the hills.

"In front is the 'Wanlingou', which is more than ten miles long. It is also one of the most active areas of the land bandits in Licheng. Everyone, be careful." Wu Xiong shouted: "Go around the young master."

"Haha, Brother Wu, you are too careful."

"Although there are often land bandits gathering in this curved forest ditch, is it possible that they dare to attack us?"

"Ten miles, we rushed over in a flash." These guards who were originally 'centurions' laughed loudly.

Although he doesn't care about it.

But their movements were not slow at all, some sped up a little, some pulled the reins lightly, and surrounded Wu Yuan and Gu Ji in the middle of the team quickly and full of tacit understanding.

In their view, the weakest members of the team were Wu Yuan and Gu Ji who was the butler.

In fact, many guards were puzzled and even dissatisfied that Wu Yuan wanted to bring an ordinary butler with him.

However, when Gu Ji showed good riding skills, these guards were savvy and didn't ask much.

"Boom boom boom~" The horse's hooves stepped over without stopping, and the team rushed directly into the winding pipeline without even slowing down at all.

More than a dozen war horses charged with all their strength, the earth trembled, and the movement was very astonishing.

…Walking forest ditch, a gentle slope in the second half.

In the dense forest on one side, a large group of land bandits was ambushing, nearly 200 people, some wearing black armor, some wearing soft armor and cloth armor.

As for the weapons they carry, they are also varied!

However, more than a dozen of them were hiding tens of meters away from the gangsters, wearing uniform black armor, masks, and only a pair of eyes.

The most eye-catching thing is the huge crossbow they hold!

Looking at these men in black armor, the eyes of many other land bandits were faintly frightened, and they did not dare to get too close.

Ordinary gangs of land bandits and water thieves, Heng Yunzong turned a blind eye.

There are two exceptions.

One is heavy armor! The second is the crossbow!

Once any gang dares to hide or cast these two things in large quantities, the local city guards and Nanmeng army will join hands to strangle them.

"Boss, the first half of this curved forest ditch is the most suitable for ambushes. Why did these mysterious masters bring us to the second half of the way to ambush?" Some of the land bandits were puzzled and asked in low voices.

"madness."

The bandit leader had a hideous scar on his face, and said in a low voice, "The one who can make them use the armor-piercing crossbow to ambush will be an ordinary caravan? It must be a master!"

"Wanling Valley, with steep slopes on both sides of the first half, and a large number of trees growing, seems to be suitable for ambushes, but we know, don't the other party not know?"

"The target will only pass quickly and be extremely alert!"

"After the first half of the journey, when horses are exhausted and people relax their vigilance, it will be the easiest time for bows and crossbows to make achievements."

"Don't ask any more questions."

The leader of the land bandits snorted: "These mysterious masters can force us to come, but they still spent 'five thousand taels of silver' to hire us, so do it well."

"yes!"

"Understood." Although these land bandits were in a mess, they were quite convinced of their leader after a long time.

But they didn't know that their leaders had received great benefits and asked them to work hard.

"Don't blame me." The leader of the land bandits glanced at the large group of gangsters beside him, and sighed in his heart: "Ten thousand taels of silver is enough for me to change my name and surname, and go to another county to live in peace."

He knew in his heart that this deal would not be as easy as the other party promised.

But he had no choice.

If you don't choose silver, you will die!

suddenly.

The ground trembled slightly, and there was a slight sound of horseshoes, and those black-armored men and bandit leaders were so powerful that they all sensed it instantly.

The goal, is likely to come.

"Hide it!"

"Take out the bow and arrow, and get ready." The noisy bandits immediately quieted down, staring fiercely into the distance.

They all knew very well that they must not reveal their whereabouts at this time. Dozens of land bandits in the front row bowed their bows and set up arrows, ready to shoot at any time.

The power of the crossbow has little to do with the user, it all depends on the instinctive power of the crossbow.

As for the power of a bow and arrow, it depends not only on the material of the bow and arrow, but also on the strength of the user!

Before the group of ambushers hesitated for too long, a group of nearly twenty figures appeared in their line of sight in the official road of the gorge.

"Eighteen riders?"

"It's more than expected! Is it the target?" These black-armored men hesitated.

This is much more than the number of people in their information.

"It's rare to see such a tough team of knights in Wanlingou every day! One or two at most, I'd rather kill them by mistake than let them go! Come on!" The bandit leader gave the order.

"Fire the arrows!" The bandit leader waved his hand and ordered.

"Hoo!" "Hoo!" "Hoo!"

In an instant, dozens of sharp arrows roared like meteors towards the team of knights whose speed had begun to slow down.

... "The second half of the journey is much safer."

"Don't worry too much." After the most dangerous first half, the guards of the team obviously relaxed a lot.

"Young master, don't worry, most of the land bandits rob caravans and caravans. Dressed up as knights like us, it looks like a stubble at first glance, and they rarely deal with us." Wu Xiong's horse was a little faster than Wu Yuan.

After leaving the county town, they also unified their address to Wu Yuan—Young Master!

"Yeah." Wu Yuan nodded slightly, but glanced in the distance inadvertently.

In terms of physical fitness, Wu Yuan is no less than a second-rate master, and in terms of martial arts skills, he is not inferior to a master. And how powerful is his spirit now?

The sense of control over the environment, even if it is not as good as the master of the earth list, it will never be weaker than the top masters.

Hundreds of land bandits lay in ambush, no matter how cautious they were, when they moved, their voices became very clear.

Third-rate masters can't detect it.

How can we hide it from Wu Yuan?

However, Wu Yuan didn't open his mouth to remind, but he was a little curious in his heart. Is this bandit team a coincidence? Or to ambush yourself?

suddenly.

call out! call out! call out! Dense arrows suddenly shrouded down from the dense forest on gentle slopes on both sides, and each arrow shone with metallic light.

Terrifying!

"Not good!" Wu Xiong, who was still talking and laughing, suddenly changed his face, and roared: "Enemy attack! Protect!"

call! call! He suddenly pulled out the two guns behind his back, forming a full moon, and the several arrows that came from him collapsed like lightning.

Wu Yuan looked shocked, as if he narrowly avoided two arrows.

The reaction speed of the other guards was also extremely quick. They either swung their spears or pulled out their long knives, and the incoming long arrows were thrown away one by one like lightning.

At the same time, the war horses galloped and quickly gathered towards Wu Yuan.

but.

"噗嗤~" "噗嗤~" There were still two knights whose strength was only 'advanced warriors', unable to dodge and were shot.

One was shot in the chest by an arrow and was blocked by the soft armor. It was only blood tumbling, so it was not a big problem.

"Boom!" There was also a knight who was shot in the neck by the unlucky one, blood spattered, turned over and fell off his horse, life and death were unpredictable.

"There are many people in ambush."

"A group of bastards!" Wu Xiong and the others were all angry when they saw that there were casualties on their side. From the power of the arrows, they also roughly judged the strength of the ambush.

It seems that there are no masters.

"No. 2 to No. 4, cover the young master and rush out of the encirclement first." Wu Xiong shouted angrily: "The rest, come uphill with me to kill the enemy!"

In the team, except for Wu Yuan and Gu Ji, everyone in the guard called each other by code names.

"yes!"

"Kill all these bastards and take revenge!" These city guards may have competition internally, but they are extremely united externally.

How can we stop when a brother dies?

"Boom!" "Boom!" The dozen or so Xishuang horses split into two groups in an instant, one group continued to move forward, and the other group rushed towards the dense forest along the gentle slope.

Well-trained, transferred like the wind.

"What? Only one died? Are they all masters?" The hundreds of bandits who were full of confidence just now showed expressions of panic.

It should be noted that in their team of nearly 200 people, only the leader is a high-level master, and there are not many martial artists.

After all, if you have the strength of a martial artist, you can join a big gang.

For example, Wu Yuan single-handedly chose the Fierce Tiger Gang.

An armored high-level expert can completely sweep away dozens of seventh-rank warriors and eighth-rank warriors.

"leader!"

"What should I do?" Many land bandits looked at the leader in horror.

However, the leader of the land bandits had already received the gesture from the burly man in black armor, and immediately understood that this group of people in front of him was the target.

He couldn't help gritting his teeth: "Kill me! Kill a knight and reward him with a hundred taels of silver!"

"kill!"

"This is a dense forest, and Malaysia's impact force can't give full play to its advantages." These bandits were already licking blood at the edge of their knives, and under the heavy reward, each of them showed a hideous look.

He shot a second round of arrows, and immediately took out his weapons, and rushed towards the eleven knights who rushed up by Wu Xiong and the others.

"rise!"

"Kill them all!" Wu Xiong and the others galloped their horses up the slope, and when the horses were still 20 or 30 meters away from the dense forest, they jumped up one by one.

People borrow horse power.

In a blink of an eye, he crossed a distance of tens of meters, landed with a crash, and directly met the land bandits who came up like a tide.

"Boom!" "Puff!"

Like a meat grinder, stumps flew around, heads fell to the ground, blood spattered, and more than twenty land bandits died in an instant.

The six city guard centurion commanders are not only physically strong, but also wear the 'fourth-grade soft armor' bestowed by the sect, and they have practiced for many years. How skillful are they in cooperating?

They teamed up to kill, it can be said that ten or twenty in-stream masters who are not familiar with each other joined forces.

Such horrific casualties made hundreds of land bandits terrified, and their actions were all stopped. They were seeking money.

No longer afraid of death, nor willing to die!

Wu Xiong's two short spears pierced through the bodies of the land bandits like lightning. His gaze swept across the entire dense forest, and suddenly he saw more than a dozen black-armored figures well hidden on the side of the dense forest!

A big crossbow with a raised handle, the arrows are ready, and they are aiming at Wu Yuan and others who have already galloped hundreds of meters.

"Not good! It's the 'armor-piercing crossbow'!" Wu Xiong's expression changed drastically.

But how can there be time to stop it?

"Hoo!" "Hoo!" "Hoo!" Thirteen armor-piercing crossbows that could threaten second-rate experts were launched instantly, like thirteen black meteors, shooting away like lightning.

Target.

It was Wu Yuan who was in the middle of the team!
