“… This is very wrong.” said the leader.
The subordinate then asked: "Boss, what's wrong with this?"
The leader glared at his subordinate who had made no progress and said, "Is that thing on your neck just for show? You fought with them in the daytime and took a lot of their meat. They are trapped in the mountains at night and can't get down. Not to mention that we will come back to kill them, even if we don't, wild beasts and birds of prey will have enough to eat. Do you think it's normal for you to sleep so soundly?"
The subordinates also agreed with this.
The leader glanced in the direction of Shen Tang's camp and guessed, "There should be an ambush nearby, waiting for us to take the bait and die."
The subordinate hesitated: "Then should we take action?"
A snort of laughter escaped from the leader's nose.
He said disdainfully, "Since we've come here, how can we return empty-handed? An ambush is one that takes the enemy by surprise and catches them off guard. An ambush that is seen through is a joke. You, take six brothers over here, and you and you, take ten brothers over there... Lao Jiu and Lao Ma lead the others... and the rest of you follow behind!"
He did not choose to rush in with all his men, but chose to disperse and surround them. According to the news sent back by his subordinates, there were only 40 to 50 guards left in the caravan, and all of them were injured.
Under this disadvantage, they could only choose to stick together and concentrate their limited strength, using the terrain to determine the direction of the sneak attack, that is, to concentrate their forces to set up an ambush on the mountain road on the oblique side of the camp.
A small number of people pretended to sleep and snored loudly to lower the enemy's vigilance and make them relax. The rest ambushed in the dark, waiting for the target to appear and kill the enemy by surprise.
To be on the safe side, the leader chose to disperse the forces and sent out multiple teams to attack separately - as long as one team could find the ambush location, they could work together to encircle and kill the enemy and surround the camp guards.
Under normal circumstances, the leader's method is effective, but the actual situation is too different from what he thought. The snoring in the camp is real snoring. The gangsters have been fighting for more than an hour. The only ambush is -
Shen Tang and Zhai Le squatted on a tree and fed mosquitoes.
Oh, that’s not right, only Shen Tang feeds mosquitoes.
There were only two enemies who ambushed them from beginning to end.
Of course, the leader's method of dispersing the attack still caused them some trouble. Zhai Le, who was listening to the sound and locating the position, frowned and whispered to Shen Tang: "They chose to disperse their actions, which is not good. We must act quickly..."
If the bandits could be gathered in one place, even if their archery accuracy is not good enough, their targets would not be missed, and Brother Shen would not have to run back and forth to kill people with a sword.
Now that they were scattered, it would be more than a little difficult for just two of them to capture all the bandits in a short period of time.
Shen Tang tilted his head back and took a sip of Du Kang wine.
"Don't panic." He wiped the remaining wine from the corner of his mouth with his sleeve and said with a smile, "I will kill one person every ten steps!"
He raised his sword and jumped down from the treetops first, gathering his spirit into the sword. His spirit instantly soared to the peak, and he swung it vigorously. The invisible and transparent sword energy, with a sharp explosion, blasted towards the ground from top to bottom.
boom!
The ground exploded, and several feet of sword marks were left under the bandits' feet.
The way forward was blocked, and the dust was stirred up several feet high, like dark clouds covering the sky and blocking the moonlight. A white shadow broke through the dust and fog like a meteor, and the murderous intent that was almost tangible rushed towards him.
Everything happened in a flash.
The leader was horrified.
“Who is it!”
He activated his martial courage and a long cross-shaped spear appeared in his hand.
The tip of a nearly ten-foot-long halberd pierced through the air and struck directly at his face, but was easily blocked by a long sword that seemed as thin as a cicada's wing.
The tip of the spear collided with the sword, and the tremendous force made the leader's palm numb. This force also gave him an inexplicable sense of familiarity, but he couldn't remember it for a while. It was not until Shen Tang killed several bandits in the gap when dealing with him, and the sword reflected the cold moonlight, that he suddenly remembered it, and his pupils trembled.
“It’s you!”
"It's me." Shen Tang was surprised at first, but when she saw the halberd clearly, memories came flooding back. It was really a narrow road for enemies. She sneered, "Since you are a guest, you might as well leave your life behind!"
The leader laughed in anger: "Today is the day you die!"
"Really? You might as well open your eyes and see who is the one at a disadvantage now!" Shen Tang has only one attitude towards people who are both inexperienced and like to talk nonsense -
Do it to death!
When the leader heard this, he felt a chill in his heart.
Only then did he notice that someone was shooting an arrow from above.
At least four at a time!
Every arrow hit the target accurately. The darkness did not affect the archers' performance. Some arrows pierced the forehead accurately, killing people with one shot. Some arrows did not hit the vital parts, but the force brought by the arrows was so great that they easily passed through the body and sank into the mud.
If that person fights again, the next arrow will be aimed at the head.
Almost every moment someone fell from the cold arrows.
The leader was shocked and horrified.
It's tricky in secret and also troublesome in the open.
He clearly remembered that this guy had managed to hold on under his command a few months ago and had managed to survive by chance, but this time, he was unable to do anything to him. The latter clearly did not take him seriously, and while dealing with his attacks, he still had the energy to kill other bandits.
Even though he wielded his nearly ten-foot-long halberd in dense and watertight movements, using all his skills, either horizontally or vertically, Shen Tang still handled the situation with ease, with the tip of his halberd not even touching the corner of the man's clothes... He was calm and composed, as if he was leisurely strolling in a garden.
Where is the trace of the previous dilemma and embarrassing escape
With just one man and one sword, plus the archers in the dark, he was able to stop more than a hundred of them here, making it impossible for them to move forward.
Shen Tang seemed to see through his doubts.
Huo Di rushed forward. The halberd in the leader's hand was too long, and he had no time to come back to help, so he immediately discarded the halberd and turned it into a short blade.
In just a short moment, he squeezed the martial energy in the Dan Mansion to the limit, gathered it into a blade, and chopped it out at close range. It was too late to dodge at such a close distance - based on his past experience, this sword energy could easily split a person in half!
But the leader never expected that—
The sword energy collided with the black and white energy that suddenly appeared and intertwined into a cocoon, like a wave hitting a reef, breaking it completely, and the burst of air blew people away several feet. Shen Tang was unharmed, but he flew backwards and rolled on the ground, spinning around for several rounds before stopping.
The blood in his chest surged, and another mouthful of blood flowed out from the corner of his mouth.
Shen Tang: "A surprise?"
Although her sword-picking style is quite like that of a warrior, the Bunshin seal on her waist silently tells everyone -
She is a scribe!
How could a scholar not protect himself
Zhai Le squatted on the tree and did not miss the momentary flash of literary energy. He pursed his lips in grievance - he did not forget what a certain Brother Shen said, "I don't play a supporting role". It turned out that Brother Shen was able to use literary intelligence.
Shen Tang looked at the leader who couldn't even stand up, and was about to pick up his sword to strike him with one more blow to take the head, but the leader suddenly raised his hand and shouted with blood in his mouth.
"Stop, I lost!"
He brought more than a hundred people with him, more than thirty of them died, more than thirty were injured. The remaining dozens of people who were responsible for supporting were already killed by this scene and fled in the opposite direction.
The outcome was no surprise.
Shen Tang snorted in his heart.
He said to stop, so we stopped. Doesn’t he have any dignity
Shen Tang tightened the hilt of the sword.
At this time—
A series of screams came from not far away.
She and the leader were both shocked.
That direction
Could it be that the ones screaming in the accident were those dozens of deserters
