Ji Jie was not in a good mood. After hearing what Xiong Ba said, he immediately became furious: "His grandma, I traveled hundreds of miles to study the epidemic situation, but I encountered bandits. Xiong Ba, Xiong Ben, tell me."
Okay, as long as they dare to show up, I will kill them all without leaving any one behind!"
"Your order!" Xiong Ba and Xiong Ben roared at the same time, and the guards around the carriage drew their steel crossbows, aiming at places where people might be hiding.
Damn it, what I hate the most is bandits. They don’t have any technical skills at all, and they just take advantage of the large number of people to bully the small number of people!
"Bang..."
As soon as the gong sounded, hundreds of robbers rushed over from all directions, dressed in all kinds of clothes, with all kinds of strange things in their hands, and they were shouting and drinking.
Xiong Ben and Xiong Ben looked at each other and said, "Much better than our team at that time, right bro!"
"Well, it's much stronger!" Xiong Ba nodded and said, "Don't talk nonsense, your Majesty has ordered the arrows to be released, so that these short-sighted guys can have a taste of the power of our Zhaocheng warriors!"
"Swish, swish, swish..." The bowstring sounded, and the crossbow arrows flew.
The range of a stainless steel crossbow is twice that of a compound bow and six times that of an ordinary pure wooden bow. The bandits don't know this. In their opinion, they are still far away from the effective shooting range of the opponent's archers, so they rush forward unscrupulously.
.
"Puff..."
Those who were hit by the arrows fell to the ground one after another. The robbers were dumbfounded. How could they shoot so far and so accurately? Could it be that they were all expert archers?
This is due to the accuracy of the stainless steel crossbow. Ji Jie applies the scale rod of a modern rifle to the crossbow. He only needs to simply judge the distance of the target, and then lift the crossbow handle up to the corresponding height according to the number on the scale.
The thrown crossbow arrows can accurately hit the enemy's body.
The Qin army's crossbows also used this aiming method, but compared with the fine steel crossbows produced by Longcheng, the difference was simply heaven and earth.
After firing a round of arrows, the guards skillfully cocked their bows, and then fired a second round. Each time, dozens of bandits were shot to death on the spot, and many were injured.
After all, robbers are robbers. Seeing that their companions were shot to death, they were all frightened and couldn't help but slow down their pace until they stopped completely. Some even turned around and ran back.
If this is a group of regular troops, they will definitely rush over regardless of the cost. Once the opponent's crossbows have lost the ability to strike from a distance, they can take advantage of their numerical advantage and use close combat to consume them.
It's a pity that they are robbers who bully the weak and fear the strong. When they encounter soft persimmons, they are very brave. Once they encounter hard ideas, they become a mess.
A guy who looked like a leader waved a rusty bronze sword and shouted hysterically: "Don't retreat, I will kill anyone who dares to retreat. Charge forward, charge!"
The retreating robber obeyed this guy's order very reluctantly, but his forward speed was very slow.
"A bunch of idiots!" Ji Jie got out of the carriage, took out a sun-shooting bow and set a feather arrow on it, saying: "Go to hell for letting you talk so much!"
"Whoosh...poof..."
The arrow accurately shot into the man's throat. He stared at Ji Jie standing on the carriage with wide eyes, and fell down unwillingly. Maybe he couldn't understand why I was standing outside the shooting range.
Is there any one that shoots farther?
"Hula..."
The little morale they had finally aroused was instantly wiped out, and the bandits began to flee again, this time on a larger scale than last time.
"Your Majesty, do you want to hunt them down?" Xiong Ba asked.
"Don't chase after the poor criminals. Besides, we have more important things to do!" Ji Jie pointed to the tree trunk lying in the middle of the road and said, "Take it away and let's continue on our way!"
"Yes, Your Majesty!" Xiong Ba made a hand gesture toward Xiong Ben. The two brothers dismounted and walked over together. Each of them moved one end of the tree. The tree trunk, which weighed more than a thousand kilograms and had a diameter of more than two feet, was easily lifted by the two brothers.
Thrown on the roadside.
Zhao Qian didn't know when she stuck her little head out of the car and exclaimed: "Wow, they two are so strong!"
"Haha, that's right! Even the most important things can be lifted by them!" Ji Jie felt very accomplished and said, "This is what I carefully built. There is also a Xiong Kui. I left him in Sima."
The city is in a stronghold, and when things stabilize over there, we will transfer him back!"
The carriage continued to move forward. Ji Jie told the two brothers to go back and gather a thousand soldiers and horses to suppress the bandits. Although this is the Sanguo zone at the junction of the Three Kingdoms, they have seriously endangered the tranquility of the Zhou border. This is
Absolutely not allowed.
After passing the small mountain col in front, we will reach the border town of Qin State. Fortunately, the border between the two countries is sparsely populated and there are almost no villages or towns. In a sense, it has blocked the spread of the plague. Otherwise, the people of the Zhou Dynasty would have been infected with the disease long ago.
.
As the convoy entered the mountain col, a louder gong sound was suddenly heard.
Ji Jie felt bad. The bandits must not be reconciled to their previous failure, so they arranged a second ambush here. It was high on all sides and low in the middle. They occupied a favorable situation and were condescending.
"Defense!" Ji Jie shouted.
Brother Xiong Ba and Xiong Ben waved their hands, and he and the guards took off the knight's shield on the saddle and moved closer to the carriage. The shield held high formed a turtle shell shape, completely covering the carriage.
"Each person has a giant shield, protect yourself!" Ji Jie threw out more than thirty giant shields five feet high and three feet wide from the carriage. The guards put the giant shields in front of their bodies and pulled them with their other hands.
, in this way, the safety of themselves and their horses is also guaranteed.
On the commanding heights directly in front, a middle-aged man with a big beard looked at the "Iron Turtle" below, grabbed the young man next to him, and asked sternly: "Who are these people? Do you know their identities?"
No?"
The little guy trembled and said: "I don't know! Just now, the second master led us to set up an ambush halfway, trying to rob him. Who knew that before he could get to him, he killed dozens of brothers?
The second in charge was also shot to death by someone sitting in a carriage!"
The bearded man let go of his hand, smiled bitterly, and said to himself: "I have fought with the Qin Army several times. The Qin Army is pretty good, but they never took advantage of me that time. This team is not simple.
, being able to form a turtle shell formation in such a short period of time should not be underestimated!"
"Then shall we take action?"
"Of course we have to take action. If we withdraw like this, do I, the bearded Taishi Yong, still have the face? Who dares to follow me?" The bearded man gritted his teeth and said, "Set an arrow for me, I want to see their turtles."
How hard the shell is!”
The bandits began to fire arrows, and arrows like locusts were shot towards the convoy.
