Cao Qiudao's killing formation was indeed extraordinary. After Ji Jie was surrounded in the center, the frequency of active attacks gradually decreased. Facing the fierce offensive of twenty-four people, he felt a little overwhelmed.
"Ji Jie, I admit that your martial arts skills are very high, but everyone who died in the killing formation was a peerless master!" Cao Qiudao said while directing the formation changes: "There are several of them. He is stronger than me in a single fight, but the result is that it is not a dead end!"
"That's because your bullshit formation has never met a real opponent!" Ji Jie retorted: "Just open your eyes and see clearly, and see how I dismantle your bullshit formation!"
"Attack and kill with all your strength!" Cao Qiudao gave the order, with the attack centered on him and coming from all directions.
"Ding-ding-ding-ding-ding..."
The sound of weapons clashing was endless, and more and more Cao's disciples were gathering here. Cao Qiudao turned around and shouted: "What are you doing here? There is no need for help here. Go kill those guys on the high ground!" "
"Yes!" A group of people turned around and rushed towards the high ground.
The three Xiong brothers are not vegetarians, and the guys in their hands are not vegetarians either. As soon as the killers at the front entered the shooting blind spot of the trebuchet, the three of them decisively took out their thunderbolt crossbows and fired a series of thunderbolts.
If you get closer, you can throw it directly with your hands. Originally, this thing was designed by Ji Jie based on the grenade, so it is more convenient to throw.
"Bang bang bang..."
The killers of the Cao family were stunned by the explosion. Before they could wake up, the three of them had already rushed down with giant axes, like tigers, while Li Yuechan stayed on the high ground to kill the enemy with crossbows.
Cao Qiudao originally thought that without Ji Jie on the high ground, their combat effectiveness would drop rapidly, so he concentrated on dealing with Ji Jie. During the fight, he inadvertently looked back and took a breath of air.
Hiss!
I saw three tall and strong men, each wielding a huge axe. The flash of axe was a life. It was not because the Cao family's killers were not strong enough, but because they had not been trained to deal with new weapons. The gas caused by the explosion was The waves and the raging shrapnel caused them to lose their sense of direction and a certain amount of reaction ability. Many people saw an ax coming towards their heads, but failed to dodge in time, even if they moved in a panic. Even when he raised his weapon to block it, he was half a beat too late, and as a result, both the man and the weapon were chopped into two pieces.
"Children, stay calm, stay calm!" Cao Qiudao shouted.
Calm? I think your whole family should be calm!
If Ji Jie could free a hand, he would definitely raise his middle finger towards Cao Qiudao.
About half of the six assassination teams were killed on the spot, and another quarter were injured and unable to continue fighting. Apart from a full team that was fighting Ji Jie, there were only less than ten capable people left in front of the three Xiong brothers. The guy who moves.
These guys looked at each other, and the three of them formed a triangle formation, three against one, trying to take down the three brothers with their numerical advantage.
"Whoosh whoosh whoosh..."
The continuous firing of crossbow arrows disrupted the formation of the three-person team. The three brothers took advantage of the situation and attacked fiercely, beating these guys until they cried for father and mother.
Cao Qiudao was distracted again because he saw Li Yuechan.
"Traitor!" These two words came out of Cao Qiudao's mouth, and his eyes were on fire: "The shadow guards cannot betray the Cao family, you...how can you stand on the side of the enemy!"
Unfortunately, because the distance was too far, Li Yuechan didn't hear what Cao Qiudao said. She only saw her putting the tail of the crossbow on her right shoulder, aiming at one person and then decisively pulling the trigger. The crossbow arrow shot out, hitting one person in the middle. throat!
Cao Qiudao was so angry that he almost vomited blood. The shadow guards were indeed unreliable. Damn it, they must take care of the rest of the shadow guards after returning this time. If the blood of the Cao family is not flowing in their veins, they must be unreliable.
In a short time, the three brothers eliminated the remaining enemies and came roaring to support Ji Jie.
In fact, Ji Jie was already dwarfed by him. With one person fighting against Cao Qiudao, who was comparable in strength to him, plus twenty-three martial arts masters, it was already amazing to be able to hold on for a cup of tea, not to mention that he had already fought against him. It took nearly a quarter of an hour.
"Cao Qiudao, you are a turtle bastard. You can't beat my lord by yourself, so you come here to attack me. Aren't you embarrassed?" Xiong Kui's attainments in psychological warfare were highly praised by Ji Jie, so he cursed, There was an obvious disconnect in the originally coherent movements of the Cao family's killer.
Ji Jie had a chance to breathe. At this time, there was a loud sound of horse hooves all around. When he heard it, he knew that it was a large force of cavalry in motion.
"Haha, you came at the right time!" Ji Jie was full of confidence.
Li Yuechan, who was standing at a high place, opened her mouth wide. Only she could see it most clearly: a cavalry of more than 3,000 people was moving here quickly from four directions. It was not difficult to judge from their attire that these people belonged to the border guards of Chu State. force.
"Chu Army?" Li Yuechan suddenly thought of something!
This place is only more than ten miles away from the Chu Kingdom's border city. The cavalry boasted that their horses would arrive in a short time. No wonder Ji Jie pointed in this direction deliberately when he declined to follow him. pointed, and very generously gave him a telescope.
"It turns out that he has arranged everything a long time ago!" Li Yuechan looked at Ji Jie who was gathered with the three brothers of the Xiong family, and said to herself: "Cao Qiudao has made many attempts and dug so many holes, but he has never succeeded! This plan must have been decided after seeing Bu Feng. Cao Qiudao was attacked from both sides in just one attack. Facing three thousand cavalry, no matter how many martial arts masters there are, they will only be tortured!"
Cao Qiudao realized the seriousness of the matter, but it was too late. Bu Feng's three thousand cavalry had completed the encirclement and were rushing toward him with great force.
These three thousand men were trained by Bu Feng according to Ji Jie's military training methods. Although there is still a certain gap between them and the great Zhou soldiers, compared with other Chu armies, their combat effectiveness has been improved by more than one level.
Bu Feng took the lead and shouted the slogan: "Kill the assassins and rescue our country, the Right Prime Minister of the Great Chu Kingdom!"
"Kill! Kill! Kill!" Three thousand people shouted in unison, the sound deafening.
"Whoever captures the assassin leader Cao Qiudao alive will receive a reward of 1,000 taels and will be promoted to three levels!" Bu Feng shouted again: "Whoever beheads him will receive a reward of 500 taels and will be promoted to two levels!"
After hearing these words, Cao Qiudao couldn't hold it in any longer and spat out a large mouthful of blood with a "pop" sound.
You must know that he collected 300,000 taels of gold before he came to deal with Ji Jie. In other words, Ji Jie's life was worth at least 300,000 taels of gold, while he lived with 1,000 taels of gold and died with only 500 taels of gold. There was a huge difference. hundred times!
There is no justice!
Cao Qiudao's strength was not big to begin with, and coupled with the previous defeats and the loss of troops this time, he was so angry that he vomited blood.
