Seeing their brother approaching and being tied there in such a humiliating manner, the three horse thieves who were rushing in front immediately became angry and without much thought, they immediately rushed over on horseback. Hu Mingzong and Bai Kuan, who had just turned around after them, suddenly changed their expressions when they saw this scene. The latter even shouted urgently: "Wait a minute, be careful!"
Since someone from the government captured his brothers, it was impossible to leave them in such an open place for no reason. There must be some terrible trap waiting for them nearby. Cao Xinxiong and the others were just luring them. They fell for the bait!
At the same time, the three of them, Cao Xinxiong, who were tightly tied up, were struggling with all their strength, and they were moaning incessantly, looking excited. Obviously they knew what was going to happen, but they were speechless and could only stare wide-eyed and whine to warn.
However, the reminders from both sides were too late after all. The horsemen and horses rushed very fast and reached the bonfire in the blink of an eye. Then, there was only a crashing sound, and the ground in front of them suddenly sank, causing the three horsemen and their men to fall. The horse fell down. First there was an exclamation, and then it turned into the miserable screams of men and horses.
When the next few brothers reacted and cautiously stepped forward to take a look, their expressions changed and they shouted in shock and anger: "What an insidious trick, there are actually spikes underneath!" It turned out that this trap was not just a cover. There was a pit with floating soil, and there were actually sharp spikes cut from wood as thick as a human leg stuck in the bottom. As soon as the three cavalry fell into it, the spikes had pierced their bodies, and both men and horses were seriously injured.
Upon hearing this, several more horse thieves hurried forward and quickly took out the ropes from the horse backpacks, trying to help rescue the brothers from the pit. But just as they moved forward, several sounds came out. Sharp sounds of breaking through the air suddenly sounded from the side one after another. Before the two horse thieves standing by the pit had time to react, a sharp arrow passed through their necks, and they screamed and fell off their horses.
Well, they haven't rescued their brother yet, but they took the first step. This incident made the other horse thieves suddenly stunned. It wasn't until Hu Mingzong shouted: "Get back!" They came to their senses and quickly turned around. However, their movements were still a beat slower, and several sharp arrows flew from the side. This time, they were shot at the torso, which was more difficult to dodge. The two horse thieves were hit again, and they fell on their horses with a groan.
Several other horse thieves were just about to help them pull their horses back, when two more arrows were fired. The horse thieves waved their weapons, but they were blocked again. The two arrows shot directly into the two wounded mounts, and the horses As soon as he was in pain, he hissed miserably, and suddenly he stood up. He immediately threw the two injured horse thieves lying on his back and threw them to the ground. Then he rushed forward desperately, knocking the horse thieves in front of him. The team was thrown into chaos.
Bai Kuan looked even more nervous at this time. When he saw this, he immediately shouted: "Get back quickly, that bonfire is just for aiming!" He really had to admire the calculation of the person who set this trap, and actually thought of using himself The brothers were so eager to save people that they set up an ambush. They didn't even see him, and they had already killed or injured seven or eight of their own brothers. Because he knew that his opponent was powerful, he could only forcefully give the order: "Don't worry about the injured person, get back first!"
Finally, Bai Kuan, as the second head of the family, has a lot of prestige in the hearts of the brothers. At this time, he finally made the other people understand with his scolding.
Come, quickly protect your whole body with your sword, and at the same time urge your horse to quickly run away from the lighting of the bonfire over there, and behind them, the two companions are still screaming and moaning at the edge of the trap, swaying It looked particularly strange and miserable under the firelight.
But this time, they didn't dare to step forward to save people. The other party made it clear that there were sharp archers ambushing them nearby. If they went over there, they would be targets to be shot at. Not to mention saving people, they had to get in. Like this No one would trade at a loss. However, the faces of the horse thieves were all twisted, and their anger was beyond words. They had been operating in the Jeju area for several years, and they had never suffered such a big loss.
"Boss, I have a lot of ideas. I have been prepared for a long time. It is no longer possible to save people like this. We have to find them first and then think of other things." Bai Kuan quickly made up his mind and looked at Hu Mingzong and said.
Hu Mingzong immediately understood his intention. He first glanced at the two brothers beside the trap. After a flash of guilt, he pointed to a residential house on the right: "He is there, follow me!" As he spoke, he slapped the horse's butt and galloped towards the target. The man also turned sideways and hid under the horse's belly, naturally to guard against the archer's cold arrows.
The other brothers also shouted, and they all followed the same example, controlling their horses and rushing towards the residence. Some even bent their bows and nocked arrows while rushing forward, and five or six feather arrows immediately flew through the air. came out and shot into the house before them.
But just when Hu Mingzong led the charge and was only seven or eight feet away from the house, the horse under him suddenly let out a long mournful cry, and then the four hooves gave way, and the whole horse fell down suddenly. At that time, Hu Mingzong exclaimed: "Everyone, be careful on the ground, they have actually spread iron caltrops!" As he spoke, he pressed his hand on the horse's back, and the rider took off like a roc, and at the same time he Taking advantage of the situation, he took the simple knife placed on the horse's side into his hand. For fear of being injured by the iron caltrops, Hu Zongming did not dare to land easily at this time. When he reached the house, he quickly grabbed a pillar in front of the house with his free left hand. He once again used the strength to jump up high, directly So I climbed up to the roof of the residential house with only one floor, which was no more than ten feet long.
Just the timely response when in danger and the light body skill of changing direction and flying have already made many brothers who stopped their horses behind him scream out "good luck". To be honest, they have rarely seen their boss show off his martial arts skills in the past few years, because most robbery matters are solved by their brothers, and there is no need for the boss to do it himself.
But at the moment when they shouted, Hu Zongming had just climbed onto the roof, and two cold lights suddenly flashed across each other and struck directly at his neck, waist and abdomen. There were actually people waiting for him on the roof early in the morning, and the timing of the attack was also very precise. It was a sneak attack at the moment when his body skills were old and his new strength was not yet developed.
"Despicable!" The horse thieves below immediately yelled and cursed, but for a moment they were unable to rush to rescue them. They could only watch anxiously as their boss fell into despair, not knowing what to do. Not to mention that it was too late for them to release arrows to support them at this time. Even if they had time, they would not dare to release arrows. After all, the two of them were so close, and no one could guarantee who would be hurt by an arrow shot.
What a great Hu Mingzong, his expression remained unchanged at this critical moment. He suddenly heard a low shout, his body shrank suddenly, and at the same time he struck with a sword in his hand.
, so narrowly dodged the knife from above, and at the same time blocked the second knife that struck him from the waist. However, there was a slight deviation in his movements. His left arm was still scratched by the blade, and a stream of blood came out. At the same time, his body fell heavily on the roof like a weight. There was only a crashing sound, and a big hole was made in the tiles above, causing the person to fall down.
Not to mention those fellow horse thieves, even his opponent in front of him, Hu Rong, who was holding a pair of swords, did not expect such a change, and he was stunned. She thought she could kill the leader of the horse thieves with this sneak attack, but she didn't expect that he could avoid it in such a weird way.
Only Hu Mingzong himself knew that he had suffered a big loss this time. Not to mention that the knife in his arm was serious, his legs were injured just by hitting the roof hard, and when he fell, he hit the beam again, which was really painful. Open your heart. But he understands better that if he doesn't do this, his situation will only become more dangerous. After the opponent's attack, there will inevitably be an endless stream of follow-up moves. Then he will be even less able to parry when all the opportunities are lost, so he takes the risk Lowering the risk of injury is the best option.
At the same time, he has also learned his lesson. He has taken enough precautions in mid-air. The Pu Dao has covered his lower body in a flash. This time, even if there is another sneak attack from below, he can handle it. But in the end, he was not attacked again until he landed with a bang. The room was dark, quiet, and empty!
"No! The archer was not on the roof just now. Has he gone somewhere else?" Hu Mingzong's heart was frightened. He immediately ignored the injury on his leg and rushed to the door with a single arrow. He kicked the door open and opened it. Rush outside. He was really afraid that his brothers would be plotted and attacked again, and he didn't even bother to turn around when he heard the sound of broken tiles and the sound of someone falling behind him.
Just as he broke through the roof and fell into the house, Bai Kuan had already quickly ordered: "Fire the arrow!" Since the boss had gone down, they no longer had any worries and wanted to kill the enemy first.
Only then did the horse thieves understand. They immediately raised their hands and fired arrows at Hu Rong, who was also a little dazed on the roof. Seeing that these arrows were about to hit her, a figure next to her suddenly stood up, and with a flick of the spear in his hand, A large net was danced out and all the arrows were sent flying. It was Zhu Sanlang who came to the rescue in time.
It turned out that the two of them had been ambush on the roof according to Sun Tu's arrangement early in the morning. It was only because of their pride as warriors that when Hu Rong attacked Hu Mingzong, he did not attack together. Otherwise, no matter how capable Hu Mingzong was, he would be seriously injured even if he was not killed by the two men's sneak attack.
But when he saw the horse thief shooting arrows to hurt Hu Rong, Zhu Sanlang couldn't bear it any longer and immediately flew out of his hiding place to help her block these random arrows. At the same time, he also imitated Hu Mingzong and used his feet as hard as he did. Take Hu Rong and fall down together. He knew very well that if the two of them stayed on the roof, they would definitely become living targets, so it would be better to go down and confront the leader of the horse thieves.
Suddenly losing their target, the horse thieves were stunned again. At this time, the door in front of them suddenly opened, and a man strode out. When they subconsciously raised their bows to shoot, they saw that it was their boss.
At the same time, another arrow suddenly flew from the roof of the nearby residential building, grabbing the side of Hu Mingzong's neck.
This is Sun Tu's real killer move!
