Ji Jie camouflaged the defensive position very well. No matter what direction the people below looked at, they would not be able to see the trebuchet hidden inside.
He took out two thunderbolt crossbows and handed one to Li Yuechan. Ji Jie said: "The three of them are responsible for long-range attacks, and the two of us are responsible for catching fish. I think Cao Qiudao will personally come up and fight me. These weapons can't hurt him." Yes, when the time comes, you will be responsible for killing the enemies at close range. Remember, be careful!"
Li Yuechan took the thunderbolt crossbow, played with it a few times, and asked with a smile: "Why, aren't you afraid that I will betray you? Or maybe Cao Qiudao arranged for me to approach you?"
Ji Jie was stunned for a moment, and Li Yuechan walked away with a silver bell-like laughter.
"This girl!" Ji Jie laughed and scolded: "You actually took the initiative to molest Brother Xi. If you dare to betray me, I will definitely not spare you!"
Xiong Ben is a boy with sharp eyes. As soon as a guy showed his head two hundred feet away, he turned the trebuchet and fired the sky-shattering cannonball.
"Boom... crackling..."
After the explosion, hundreds of shrapnel and steel balls flew in all directions, turning the surrounding trees into hedgehogs. The impact point of the shells happened to be at the feet of the man who was outcropping. As a result, he and several people around him were swept up by the air waves. He flew into the air, and when he fell down, his body had been beaten into a hornet's nest by the steel balls. More than half of the assassination team was dead, and everyone alive was injured.
The members of this group were careless. They thought the distance was still far away, so they did not disperse. This allowed Xiong Ben to take a big advantage.
"Great!" Xiong Ben jumped up happily.
"Why are you so excited? We only killed a few people!" Xiong Ba pulled down his throwing arm, and Xiong Kui skillfully loaded a cannonball and said, "It's just that there are more than a hundred people in this family. If they are bombed once, they will definitely separate. You kid, please keep your eyes open and aim carefully. If there are still half of them when they rush to the high ground, I will take care of you with my eldest brother!"
Xiong Ben nodded quickly, but he was thinking in his heart, are you two my opponents? If I didn't give in to you every time, how could I be the one eating the chestnuts?
Cao Qiudao waved the command flag, and the assassination team immediately dispersed, and at the same time, they moved covertly and rushed towards the high ground.
"Boom boom boom..."
Explosions were everywhere, and each explosion was accompanied by screams. Cao Qiudao's heart was bleeding. It was true that he didn't care about the life or death of the shadow guards, because those people were orphans adopted from everywhere! But the assassination team was different. These people The blood of the Cao family flows through his body, and every death makes him heartbroken.
He wanted to take back the order he just gave, but then the person who died would be dead in vain.
Gritting his teeth, Cao Qiudao jumped down from the carriage, drew his sword and shouted: "Ji Jie, accept your fate!"
At this time, Ji Jie was happily directing Li Yuechan to deal with the killers who rushed nearby. Under the raging fire of thunder bullets, more killers were killed on the spot.
These Cao children are all good at fighting with cold weapons. When new weapons such as thunderbolts came out, several elders of the Cao family conducted in-depth research on it, and finally came to the conclusion that when the new weapons explode, The sound is too loud, which is not conducive to smooth retreat after completing the task.
In fact, Cao Qiudao strongly advocated this matter, but as the head of the family, he sometimes could not fully make the decision, so that even now, the killer team still uses the most traditional method to complete the task.
Even if they are not allowed to use new weapons, how can they learn to deal with those who use new weapons? It is a pity that the elders have not arranged this course from beginning to end.
"Damn it, it's here so soon!" Ji Jie threw away the thunderbolt crossbow and turned back to the three brothers who were enjoying themselves and said: "I'll leave this place to you, I'll deal with Cao Qiudao, remember, If you can’t win, run away!”
"Got it!" The three brothers nodded together.
Ji Jie nuzzled towards Li Yuechan, and Xiong Kui made a reassuring gesture, then patted his chest, meaning to wrap it up with me.
Summoning his long sword, Ji Jie jumped out of the fortification and rushed forward.
Cao Qiudao saw that Ji Jie was able to move more freely than him, and thought that this kid must have taken some kind of healing medicine, otherwise how could he recover so quickly.
"Old Cao, we meet again! That night I went to your house to find you, but you were so disrespectful that the beetle moved before I arrived!" Ji Jie did not forget to joke before starting the fight.
Although Cao Qiudao didn't know what a dung beetle was, he could tell from the name that it was definitely not meant to praise people.
"Then you stay in the Chu Kingdom honestly and don't run out!" Cao Qiudao pointed his sword directly at Ji Jie's throat, and the two of them fought together.
"bite……"
The two sword tips collided together, making a crisp sound.
Cao Qiudao launched the attack one step ahead of Ji Jie. Ji Jie raised his hand lightly and bumped the tip of his sword against his, easily neutralizing his attack.
Ji Jie is relaxed, but Cao Qiudao is not. It's like a person exerting all his strength to punch, but the result is that the punch hits the cotton. There is no way to absorb the force, so he can only "digest" by himself.
"Old Cao, your injury hasn't healed yet!" Ji Jie continued to launch a psychological offensive: "Then take a good rest at home. You must know that when you were in your prime, you were just a tie with me, but now you are not strong enough. I’m afraid you’re going to die in my hands! It’s so sad that a generation of sword master died in the hands of a boy under twenty years old under the watchful eyes of a group of direct descendants. People will definitely spread your great achievements everywhere!”
Cao Qiudao was furious, but he did not lose his mind in the rage. He knew that he was no match for Ji Jie at this time, so he waved his hand and shouted: "Children, listen to my order, kill the formation!"
Children?
Ji Jie's heart was confused. Grandma, has he traveled through time in "Journey to the West"? He wanted to remind Cao Qiudao: "Please pay attention to your wording!"
Hearing the sound, a dozen of the Cao family's disciples gathered around him. They lined up on the left, right and behind Cao Qiudao, forming a strange formation.
It is obvious that this formation is centered on Cao Qiudao and is supplemented by others. It is a lineup with both offense and defense.
"It's great to have more people!" Ji Jie touched his nose and said, "Brother likes to have fewer people bullying more people. Show off your skills if you have any, lest you end up with the Lord of Hell and regret that you have something to hide in your life. I didn’t use any tricks!”
"Ji Jie, don't you think you talk a lot of nonsense today?" Cao Qidao looked confident.
"I understand, and I also understand why you talked so much that night!" Ji Jie said with a smile: "As a winner destined by God, you naturally talk a lot. Of course, you were too confident that night. !”
"I'm just as confident now!" Cao Qiudao slowly raised his sword and said, "No one can survive my Cao family's killing array. Take the move!"
A group of people rushed towards Ji Jie. There was no trace of nervousness on Ji Jie's face. He was ready to fight the enemy.
