Chapter 373 Falling into a Trap, Zhou Yu Will Die?
Chapter 373: Falling into a trap, Zhou Yu is going to die?
After the guard beside him fired the flare, the bandits ambushing on the road immediately followed the leader's order.
They all swarmed forward and killed all the last twenty or so guards who had their backs turned to them in an instant, because these guards never expected it.
These so-called pirates actually dared to go to land to ambush them. Taking advantage of the flare they just fired, it happened to attract everyone's attention to the ship, and no one noticed the rear.
The people in the rear could see the formation of these guards more clearly under the guidance of the flares. It can be said that if Zhou Yu could discover these ambushed bandits in advance.
There must be no problem, but Zhou Yu was careless and failed to discover it in advance, which happened to allow these people to seize the opportunity.
Just at this moment, the captain of the fifty guards immediately realized that something was wrong.
"Watch the rear, defend the formation, line up, and protect your lord."
The captain of the guard reacted very quickly. The moment he realized something was wrong, he ordered all his men to form a circle and protect Zhou Yu in the center.
Only then did Zhou Yu discover that there was a group of troops on the road. Although the number was not large, he had just taken advantage of this unprepared move to clear out nearly half of his group.
The current situation was already very critical for Zhou Yu. After all, he was still being attacked from both sides and had no idea what the opponent's strength was.
The other party was able to send people to land to ambush him, which shows that they also have military acumen and are not just a ragtag bunch like ordinary pirates.
Fighting with only brute force made Zhou Yu somewhat afraid, but it was just fear, Zhou Yu's arrogance was still there.
He still felt that even if these people could catch him off guard, they would never be able to do anything to him. After all, he still had nearly thirty guards left.
With these thirty guards protecting him, he must be able to escape safely even if he cannot kill them.
And as long as he could evacuate and directly ask the navy to surround these people, no one of them would have to think about running away.
"Sir, the situation is not good. Let's retreat first. There are still ambushes on the shore. We don't know what the situation is on the boat. If there are people on the boat, we will be attacked from both sides. We will be in trouble."
The guard captain saw this situation and knew that if he did not retreat at this time, problems would easily arise. After all, he was already under attack from both sides.
If these people on the ship were to condescendingly use some weapons against them, then they would have no chance to resist.
After all, as the captain of the guard, his first priority was to protect Zhou Yu's safety, not to kill the enemy, but that was not what Zhou Yu had in mind.
Zhou Yu still wanted to kill the enemy. At this moment, he still felt that the opponent was just a group of mobs. It was just a mistake that made him suffer a big loss. If he just adjusted well, he could still turn defeat into victory.
"Don't panic. The other party is just a ragtag group. We still have a lot of troops. We should form a good formation and deal with these people on land first."
"I don't think there are many people on the land, only forty or fifty. Once they are dealt with, those on the ship will not dare to do it again. Then we can attack the ship and see where they are fleeing to.
"
Zhou Yu thought very cleverly, but he did not expect that the people on the boat were also worried about this situation, so he had made preparations in advance. Just when Zhou Yu was about to start to deal with the people on land, the people on the boat also
Finally, they took action, another volley of bows and arrows was fired, and most of these guards did not carry defensive shields, but were only lightly armed.
Therefore, under the first wave of bows and arrows, more than a dozen guards fell to the ground, and the remaining dozen guards could barely escape. At this time, the guard chief knew that something serious was going on.
He knew that he was about to be revealed here, and Zhou Yu was still with him. If he couldn't find a way to send Zhou Yu out, then he would be a sinner through the ages.
"Sir, the enemy is well prepared. Let's retreat immediately. We can't delay any longer. If we delay any longer, you will be in danger. Please listen to what I have to say. Later, my subordinates will risk their lives to escort you out."
When Zhou Yu saw this scene, he knew that he seemed to be careless. It would be difficult to deal with this group of thieves with dozens of people, so he could only nod.
This made Zhou Yu feel very embarrassed. After all, he, the majestic naval commander of the Wei Kingdom, would let this group of thieves be beaten so embarrassingly.
After seeing Zhou Yu nod, the guard captain also knew that he had to find a way to send Zhou Yu out no matter what.
"Triangular formation! Escort your Excellency to retreat, leaving the outermost ones behind! The rest of us will fight out with me."
The captain of the guard also made a prompt decision. He knew that it was impossible to kill everyone at this moment, so he could only leave some people behind to delay the enemies behind him.
As expected, these guards were all elite soldiers, and now the remaining dozen people actually blocked the attack of the forty or fifty people on land.
Seeing that Zhou Yu and a few guards were about to rush out, the bandit leader on the boat also knew that something serious was going on.
If Zhou Yu is really allowed to rush out at this moment, once he is asked to transfer the navy over, it will be too late for them to escape.
"Bring me my bow and arrows!"
The people below handed the bandit leader a strong bow directly. The material of this bow was dark and thick, and the bow string was also very thick. At first glance, it looked like a strong bow.
Sure enough, this bandit leader also has some strength.
After picking up the bow and filling it with arrows, an arrow shot out quickly, hitting a guard directly in the back.
He shot this guard to the ground immediately, then shot another guard to the ground with another arrow, and then fired two more arrows. After each arrow went out, a guard fell to the ground.
The captain of the guard knew at this moment that there seemed to be experts at the rear. He knew that if he continued to run forward desperately like this, he would not be able to escape, so he grabbed Zhou Yu and pushed Zhou Yu forward.
.
"My lord, hurry up. There is a master on this boat. I will block the arrow for you. After your lord returns, the water controller will come over and avenge us."
After saying that, the captain of the guard turned around and faced the ship, ready to block the arrows that were fired at any time. When the leader of the bandits on the ship saw this situation, he admired the captain of the guard very much.
"Captain Zhou, would you rather watch your men fall to the ground one by one right now? Your captain of the guard is planning to trade his own life for yours."
"Are you going to run away like this? If that's the case, you might as well give up your position as the naval commander of the Great Wei Kingdom to me, Zuotian, because you are not worthy."
In fact, Zuo Tian just saw that Zhou Yu was about to run out of the range of his bow and arrow, and knew that if he didn't use words to provoke Zhou Yu at this time, he would make Zhou Yu stop.
He really let him run away, and just as Zuo Tian expected, Zhou Yu immediately stopped and clenched his fists after hearing what he said.
