Chapter 172: Fierce battle at the inn, killing an enemy with an arrow
Chen Rong looked at the arrows flying towards him, the corners of his mouth curled up, showing a confident look.
In his opinion, it is a matter of course that he can catch an arrow with his small hard Qigong skills without any difficulty.
Seeing Chen Rong raising his hand to catch his own arrow, a slight smile appeared on the face of the young man on the roof.
That young man is none other than Jia Lan!
The moment the arrow touched his arm, Chen Rong's expression froze instantly.
The expected sound of collision did not appear, but was replaced by a sharp pain in the hand.
The arrow that should have been deflected stuck to his arm like a piece of dog skin ointment, and a strange force came out of it, instantly breaking through his hard Qigong.
"Ah!" The severe pain made Chen Rong groan.
"Opportunity!"
The young man's cry made Ou Baihu, who was standing aside, come back to his senses completely. He picked up the knife handle in his hand and stabbed Chen Rong in the neck.
Generally speaking, people who practice hard qigong have their own goals, and a soft neck is probably one of them.
Ou Baihu's sword was very fast, but Chen Rong's potential also burst out in the matter of life and death. He gritted his teeth and endured the severe pain and quickly dodged sideways. He barely dodged the originally fatal blow.
However, he only managed to avoid the first sword attack. When Ou Baihu saw this, he decisively changed from stabbing to slashing.
This time, Chen Rong couldn't escape unscathed, and his shoulders were directly injured.
Facing the attackers who were retreating in panic, Ou Baihu took advantage of the situation and continued to move forward.
From the time Chen Rong bravely blocked Ou Baihu's knife to being injured by an arrow, in the blink of an eye, the morale of the Yi Zhan side was immediately boosted, and they fought back under the leadership of the inner guards.
"Ah!!"
There was a scream, and as the figures surged above the inn gate, buckets of boiling water poured down.
At this time, the armored elites under the Chen brothers were the first to bear the brunt and were constantly being burned to the ground.
The wind blew, bringing up an unappetizing smell.
At this time, the disadvantages of a team like the Ruyang Bandits who could only fight with the wind gradually became apparent. As the leading soldier, Chen Rong was killed and retreated steadily. Some of his armored warriors were scalded by the scalding hot water, and others fell into the inn.
In the midst of internal chaos.
When the bandits outside saw this, they immediately did not dare to go inside.
Chen Shan, who was originally confident about capturing the inn, gradually changed his expression.
As a hunter, his sixth sense told him that something was wrong.
In the open space of the inn, the caravans were not scattered together, but were arranged in clever combinations according to certain specifications. The men who rushed in could only deploy in a limited space, and the effect of the sudden attack was lost.
No deposit.
What's even worse is...
How come these caravan guards are so strong!?
"Brother, save me!" Chen Rong was helpless and had to cry out for help.
"Second brother!" Chen Shan looked at his younger brother who was retreating in the shadow of the knife, and anxiously picked up the slingshot and fired several times.
Ou Baihu was caught off guard, unable to dodge and was hit. He grunted, gritted his teeth and slashed Chen Rong again, looking at the other person getting further and further away from him bitterly.
Chen Rong, whose pressure was suddenly relieved, turned around and ran away. He quickly escaped from the post gate and burst out laughing when he saw that he had successfully escaped.
"Don't stand there laughing stupidly, run away!"
Unlike his younger brother, although Chen Shan was standing outside, his eyes were always on the lookout for something.
Seeing the figure that he had always been afraid of move slowly, Chen Shan's heart skipped a beat and he shouted quickly.
Sensing the panic in his elder brother's tone, Chen Rong was slightly startled, then his heart trembled and goosebumps appeared all over his body.
He shouted in his heart that it was not good and wanted to lift his legs.
It was just the chill coming from behind that caused his expression to collapse step by step with his chaotic steps.
His sixth sense told him that it was extremely dangerous now!
"Get out of the way!"
Chen Shan waved his hands crazily and opened his eyes wide.
The whistling sound of arrows resounded through the night sky, and three arrows fell from the sky in a perfect shape. It was completely different from the sticky feeling just now. Just by listening to the sound, you knew that these three arrows were powerful and powerful!
For the first time in his life, Chen Rong felt such fear!
He tried his best to dodge, but suddenly a thought came quietly, causing his figure to freeze on the spot.
"Second brother!"
Watching three arrows shoot out and knock his younger brother to the ground, Chen Shan's pair of copper bell eyes were instantly covered with bloodshot eyes.
He could no longer calmly raise the sword in his hand and shouted angrily: "Give them all to me! Get the second master back from me!"
After saying that, he led his cronies and drove hundreds of Yangshan bandits forward, and even chopped down a few of the lingering bandits to the ground with his own hands.
"Kill! Leave nothing behind! If you win, I will give you half of the property! I swear to God!"
I don’t know whether he was frightened by the blood of his companions or inspired by the reward offered by Chen Shan. The Yangshan bandits rushed in with glowing eyes and howling.
When the guard on the gate tower saw this, he was about to continue pouring hot water, but he was hit by iron beads one after another. His blood and flesh spattered and he screamed and fell to the ground. He even accidentally knocked over the hot water in his hand.
I was so burned.
Taking advantage of this opportunity, Yangshan thieves swarmed into Yuqiu Station.
Ou Baihu took a breath, raised his knife and shouted: "Everyone has heard it, now is the time to fight! The opponent is a Yangshan bandit, and he usually leaves no one alive. He is greedy for life and afraid of death, so I will give him a good life."
Where can you escape in this world of ice and snow!"
Everyone's expressions froze when they heard this. Yangshan's reputation as a bandit was well known to these traveling guards.
If it's a sunny day outside, just don't run away alone to get the silver reward, but this weather...
Just now, Chen Shan roared so loudly that everyone could hear it clearly. The originally reluctant caravan guards risked their lives to fight with the enemy.
……
"Master Qin, is he okay?"
On the second floor of the guest house behind the inn, Luo Shiniang looked at Jia Lan's slightly tired figure on the Drum Tower, clutched her hands and spoke nervously.
At this time, she couldn't tell whether she was asking someone or talking to herself.
Under Lin Shixian's arrangement, the few female relatives were placed in the guest house at the back.
"No problem!" Qingwen, who is also a female family member, stood beside Eleven Niang because of their acquaintance. She, with her sharp ears, answered immediately after hearing the words.
Eleven Niang didn't seem to hear, she just looked at Jia Lan's figure without blinking.
Holly shouted "Ah".
A stray arrow landed crookedly beside her, hitting the wooden floor with a muffled sound.
"Ugh..." Aunt Lu on the side seemed to smell something, her face changed and she started to vomit.
"Miss, let's hide in the house quickly!" Dongqing said with a sad face while comforting Aunt Lu.
"I won't go back."
Eleven Niang's tone was very firm. Listening to the sound of fighting in front of her, half of her eyes fell on the horizon filled with flames, and the other half fell on the Drum Tower, which is the highest point of Yuqiu Station.
"Holly, apart from the stable behind us, this is the last place where the inn can stay.
The thieves are powerful. If Mr. Qin and the others cannot defend themselves, we will not be able to escape anywhere.
Instead of hiding in the house and waiting for the result, it is better to witness your own destiny with your own eyes, at least..."
Eleven Niang's eyes were blazing: "At least I can still stand here and cheer up Mr. Qin."
When Qingwen heard this, her eyes swept over Eleven Niang's face unconsciously. Eleven Niang's words made Qingwen feel somewhat close to her.
