In the dark sewer, hundreds of people held their breath and concentrated, and the only sounds coming from the narrow passage were heard.
The sound was getting closer and closer, and some officers and soldiers were about to crawl over.
There was a faint light coming out of the passage. Kong Dayou slowly raised his knife and gestured to his companions next to him.
Due to being too nervous, as soon as something came out, people outside the passage all started attacking.
Kong Dayou's hand knife suddenly slashed, and he immediately felt something was wrong.
That's not the head of an officer or soldier, but a shield!
"There's a thief!"
The officers and soldiers crawling in the passage were so frightened that they quickly retreated and even did not forget to withdraw their shields.
"Stab him to death!"
Kong Dayou shouted in fear.
This guy is the leader of underground gangs in several nearby districts, and the gangsters started taking action after giving the order.
Long weapons couldn't be used, so they all had short weapons in their hands. They lay down at the entrance of the cave and stabbed inside.
But it was useless, it was all blocked by the shield.
The size of the passages between each area is not fixed. Some are more than half a person's height, and some can only be climbed through. Kong Dayou deliberately chose an extremely narrow place to attack, but the officers and soldiers blocked all attacks with a shield.
"Get out!" the team leader behind him shouted.
Anyone who wields a shield in the Yuanyang Formation must be a sergeant, with superior physique, skill, and courage.
At this time, the team leader lying in front was called Lou Qing. The retreat behind him was blocked by officers and soldiers, and the exit in front was blocked by gangsters. The team leader's order to attack was also heard in his ears.
Lou Qing gritted his teeth, held up a shield with his left arm, held a knife in his right hand, and crawled forward bit by bit while resisting the blows from various short weapons.
The gangsters didn't raise any fire, and it was pitch black ahead.
The teammates behind him were holding torches. Through the edge of the shield, Lou Qing could vaguely see a few legs at the entrance of the hole. When his head was about to crawl out, Lou Qing flipped the standing shield over and pulled it down to block his head, and then stabbed him with a knife.
One leg forward.
"Ouch!"
A gangster retreated in pain.
The other gangsters picked up weapons and slashed at random, mostly on the upside-down shields.
After Lou Qing took out the knife, he quickly retracted it and let the shield protect his exposed right hand. Then he put the hand holding the knife on the ground and pushed his legs forward. He pushed forward a little and stabbed his leg again with the knife.
"Grab the shield and drag it out to chop!"
Kong Dayou roared angrily.
Perhaps it's because in the underground, these gangsters not only don't use long weapons, they don't even have blunt weapons in their hands. They only fight with sharp weapons (a few use short sticks).
Lou Qing felt a pulling force coming from the shield, and half of his body including the shield was pulled out.
His head and shoulders were protected by shields, but his vest received several severe blows, and the blows from those short sticks were quite painful.
"With armor, you can't kill me!" the gangsters shouted in fear.
The long card players and rattan card players were in the front row of the Yuanyang Formation. They both wore medium-sized zhao armor plus cloth armor, and even had a protective collar around the neck of their helmets.
Even without a shield, it's not something a group of sewer gangsters can handle!
Lou Qing's head, shoulders, and arms were hidden under the shield, allowing the enemy to chop and smash his back, and continuously thrust out the sword at short distances.
It's not very powerful and can only make some bloody wounds, but it's enough.
The bandit who was stabbed in the calf subconsciously stepped back. Lou Qing felt that the weapons to hit him were getting smaller, so he suddenly exerted force on his legs, and his whole body crawled out of the passage, completely reaching the open area of ​​the sewer.
He first curled up his whole body, like a taut spring, and then stood up and pushed out with all his strength.
The two people in front of them were knocked over by Lou Qing with a shield.
The other gangsters raised their weapons and slashed at the medium-sized armor, making a clanking sound. They couldn't even break through the defense.
"Damn it!"
Lou Qing finally adjusted his body to stand firm. He held a shield with his left arm and smashed one person away, and slashed another one with his right hand with a knife.
The team leader at the rear took this opportunity to crawl out of the passage. Before he could join the battle, Lou Qing had already killed the gangsters and retreated.
Kong Da was abducted into the sewer when he was a few years old. He can no longer remember what happened at home.
At first he was disobedient and was beaten to death. Later he gradually learned to behave, and because of his good physique and intelligence, he was actually adopted by the gang boss as his adopted son.
Before he was twenty years old, Kong Dayou had defeated all the gang's invincible gangsters, and finally got angry and killed his adoptive father and became the leader.
He prides himself on his extraordinary strength and is a first-class hero.
But today I met a shield soldier, and I realized that I was nothing. No matter how fierce the sword was, no matter how clever the moves were, they were all blocked by the shield and armor, and even the most powerful martial arts could not be used at all.
Kong Dayou tried to stab the officer and soldier in the face, but was blocked by his shield.
Several swords and wooden sticks were thrown at the officers and soldiers nearby, but they did not cause any real damage. They only hurt people through the armor. There were also one or two swords that were lucky enough to penetrate the armor and pierced the inside.
skin and flesh.
"hiss!"
Kong Dayou gasped in pain. He slashed the opponent several times, but the officer and soldier were fine. The officer and soldier only slashed him once, and almost disemboweled him.
"Run quickly, the officers and soldiers are awesome!"
Several gangsters in front of them were so scared that they turned around and ran away. The gangsters outside who could not engage in battle also fled in panic.
Although Lou Qing was protected by an armor and shield, he was beaten so hard that his whole body ached, as if his bones had been smashed. When he saw the enemy running away, he was filled with anger and had nowhere to vent, so he immediately chased after him with a shield and a knife.
An ordinary rattan player started hunting down hundreds of gangsters!
The officers and soldiers in this passage are only a mandarin duck team, only twelve people.
Kong Dayou's original plan was to gather hundreds of gangsters, guard them outside the narrow passage, and kill as many officers and soldiers as possible with a few hits, but unexpectedly, he could not even deal with a single shield bearer.
Kong Da was injured and escaped to another passage, where he could run through with his waist down.
But the frightened gangsters fled in a swarm, blocking the passage instead. Kong Dayou could only chop the two people around him, and under the protection of his confidants, he bent over and escaped through the hole.
Screams kept coming from behind. Those were the gangsters who had not squeezed into the hole. They were killed on the spot by the officers and soldiers who caught up.
After running through two districts one after another, Kong Dayou gathered another group of people.
They fled towards another passage, and just as they were about to get in, they saw a group of people coming out of it.
"Xing Wu, why did you come to my territory?" Kong Dayou asked.
Xing Wu was also wounded and said with a mournful face: "Kong Da, run away quickly, there are officers and soldiers behind you, my brothers are almost killed!"
The two of them merged into one place and fled towards the side passage.
After escaping a few more districts, they ran into another group of gangsters, who also belonged to the family-lost dogs who were killed by the officers and soldiers.
Kong Dayou was shocked and angry: "Why are there officers and soldiers everywhere? How many soldiers did Marshal Zhu send to Wuyou Cave?"
"I'm afraid there are two or three thousand?" Xing Wu guessed.
The three gang leaders stood there at a loss, not knowing how to respond.
After a long time, Kong Dayou said: "Wuyou Cave is very big and there are many side roads. There are two to three thousand officers and soldiers. If they block this place, they will lose that place. There are always some ditches that we can't take care of. Let's scatter and run.
, drill into holes when they see them. I still don’t believe it, Marshal Zhu can send tens of thousands of troops, and there will be officers and soldiers in all the passages!"
The three of them could only try their luck and disperse their men to escape. A dozen people formed a team and escaped through holes.
The officers and soldiers have blueprints and guides in their hands. Whenever they encounter a fork in the road, a mandarin duck team must be left to garrison. The other teams will disperse to pursue, drive the bandits to flee in confusion, and plan to encircle and kill them just like hunting.
Kong Dayou avoided several pursuits and thought he had escaped and ascended to heaven.
As soon as he led his men out of a passage, he saw a group of officers and soldiers standing in front of him.
The officers and soldiers stood still, not even lighting torches, they just stayed in place and waited for the bandits to come.
"You are not such a bully, I will fight with you!"
Kong Dayou was frightened and angry, completely losing his mind. He picked up the knife and rushed forward.
Those crimes he committed will definitely lead to death if caught!
