Chapter 4378: Going out of the gate to pursue Ah Zhongsui
Liu Zhong's expression changed and he murmured: "Xu Fu? Isn't this guy a famous brave general next to Xu Daofu? Could it be that Xu Daofu is also here in person?"
There was a sound of arrows flying into the sky, and a dark cloud-like rain of arrows, with more than a thousand arrows, quickly rose from the large bows of several rows of archers behind the fence, and flew outside the fence. Soon, there was a dull sound.
Hums and screams came from outside, followed by bursts of sound that broke through the air, hitting the shield like hail. Everyone knew very well that these were the disciples of Tianshi Dao.
They were using various flying knives, hand halberds and other hidden weapons to attack the shield formation, but no hidden weapon could penetrate the shield like Xu Fu's flying axe.
The three sergeants who fell on the ground struggled to get up. One sergeant who was vomiting blood was helped by his companions to retreat. The other two and the two new sergeants picked up a new large shield and blocked it.
The moment before the gap was closed, everyone could see a bald man more than thirty steps away, with three or four arrows stuck in his body, and blood dripping from all over his body, still yelling at him.
Rushing forward: "Jin Gou, a man who shoots in the dark is not considered a hero. If you have the guts to come out and fight your grandpa Xu Fu..."
The second wave of arrows rose into the sky again, about ten steps closer than before, and once again hit the line in front of the fence. This time, the screams and the sound of rushing footsteps were much quieter.
There were only a few people rolling on the ground, shouting and wailing, but the sounds became louder and louder.
The third wave and the fourth wave of arrows soared into the sky one after another. This time, they almost fell within fifty steps in front of the fence. A dozen or so sounds of shields were heard sporadicly, but everyone understood that this was probably
The last surviving disciples of Tianshi Dao gave a desperate last blow. Soon, the fifth wave of arrow rain was also sprayed out. The entire outside became silent, with only a few shrill whistles about a hundred steps ahead.
There was a sound in the place, accompanied by a high-pitched voice shouting: "Evacuate, retreat quickly!"
Xu Chite and Liu Zhong jumped onto a baggage truck piled with sacks almost at the same time. This allowed them to be higher than those seven-foot shields and see the situation outside. They could only see a hundred steps or so outside the fence.
Within the area, corpses were strewn across the field, with more than 200 corpses lying scattered all over the ground. The bald and bear-like Xu Fu had at least twenty arrows inserted in his body, and he fell with his head down and his mouth chewing mud.
Only fourteen or five steps away from the fence, purple-black blood flowed all over the ground, and the smell was unpleasant.
And more than a hundred of his subordinates, like him, were lying dead about a hundred paces away. Everyone's heads were facing the fence directly in front. It can be seen that they were all rushing forward without hesitation, and no one looked back.
No one flinched, which was in sharp contrast to those companions who were more than a hundred steps away and were desperately trying to escape back.
Liu Zhong frowned: "What a pity, these more than a hundred people are all dead soldiers, but the cowards behind are trying to escape."
Xu Chite laughed: "We can't let them escape like this. Many of the more than 300 people were hit by arrows, and they consumed too much energy when they charged just now. What we want is to kill the first wave of attacking thieves.
Kill them all, Ah Zhong, open the baggage cart at the door, I want to fight out!"
Liu Zhong shook his head: "Chite, it's not good. This is the enemy's first wave of probing attacks. They shot more than a hundred people to death and escaped with more than 300 people. If the enemy has an ambush, we can chase them out, but
It’s going to be troublesome.”
Xu Chite waved his hand: "Do you think a brave general like Xu Fu will be used to lure the enemy? They just saw that we were on guard and became anxious. They directly let the brave general take the lead and charged forward with a death squad. We only shot Xu Fu.
It's not enough. We know the military methods of the demon thieves. After these three hundred people return, they will kill thirty or fifty of them, and then force the others to charge again, and then the army will continue to advance. If we don't kill all these three hundred people,
, they will become dead soldiers in the next wave, why don’t we eliminate them now.”
Liu Zhong's brows were still frowning: "But how do you pursue them? This damn muddy ground not only hinders their attack, but also blocks our pursuit. Moreover, your men are archers, which are good for long-range shooting.
It is not conducive to close combat. If you really rush forward and fight with them in close combat, if the demon thieves turn back and fight to the death, you may not be able to get any benefits."
Xu Chite laughed and didn't answer. He just picked up the big bow in his hand, took out an arrow from his quiver, strung the arrow, and without much aim, shot an arrow at the retreating enemy in the distance.
, only a scream was heard in the distance, and a demon thief disciple who was lagging behind fell down in response. The others were so frightened that they didn't even bother to drag his body, and ran backwards while crawling on the ground.
Xu Chite pointed forward: "I didn't say that I wanted to rush up and behead them, I just said that I wanted to kill these demon thieves. Don't forget, we are the Divine Arrow Assault Battalion. Each of us can move forward at a hundred steps. Now as long as
Chase them out, a distance of about a hundred paces, and shoot accurately. In half a quarter of an hour, you can kill all these demon thieves on their way back. At that time, you will chase them out about a hundred paces, and kill these demon thieves while charging.
The heads of the demon thieves who were shot to death were all cut off, and they were placed on wooden stakes to frighten the enemy."
Liu Zhong's brows relaxed a little, but he was still a little wary: "You still have to be careful of fraud. I think it's better to wait and see."
Xu Chite said in a deep voice: "Brother Zhong, if you want to wait, just wait here. I won't wait any longer. If you don't kill the more than 300 thieves in front of you, you will regret it. Just hold your ground here."
But, I’m going to hunt down the fleeing enemy.”
As he spoke, he waved his hand and shouted to the archers in front of him: "All of you, follow me out of the gate to pursue. Don't let a single thief escape."
Soon, his figure jumped up, and after a few ups and downs, he rushed out between the baggage trucks that were being pulled away, and thousands of archers followed him.
Then, they filed out and quickly spread out in front of the fence. While shooting, they cut off the heads of the demon thieves closest to them.
Liu Zhong stood quietly on a high place. Hundreds of his subordinates all turned their heads and looked at Liu Zhong eagerly. A deputy general named Liu Qirong ran over and said to Liu Zhong: "Brother A Zhong,
What should we do now? Should we stay behind or go out to protect our brothers in the Shenjian Camp?"
Liu Zhong gritted his teeth and said: "The lightly-armed archers cannot be without guards, otherwise if they are ambushed, they will be slaughtered. Qirong, you take two hundred people to stay here. No matter what happens, they are not allowed to leave the gate. I will take three hundred
Brother, go out to meet the escort Chite and the others, come as soon as you go!"
