Ming Dynasty man

Chapter 61 Serial Killing
Dozens of guns pierced through the gaps in the shield, and more than a dozen officers and soldiers fell down in an instant.

"Fire the arrow!" Old Man Chen shouted.

"Whoosh, whoosh!" More than ten arrows shot out in response.

Due to the sudden fall of more than a dozen shieldmen, the front of the officers and soldiers lost protection immediately, and the distance was too short. Even if the bandits' arrow skills were poor, most of them still hit the target.

The officers and soldiers who were suddenly attacked suddenly panicked. How could old man Chen let go of such an opportunity.

The old man Chen kept shouting, and everyone behind him fired their swords and guns, and killed more than ten officers and soldiers in an instant.

More than [-] officers and soldiers fell down in the blink of an eye, and they were a little panicked. The soldiers in the front row kept retreating, but they only retreated not far, and the distance between them was conveniently opened.

The reason is simple, because untrained bandits can't keep up with the pace of Chen Dahu and others.

These people must follow Chen Dahu's rhythm, which means that they are half a beat slower every time.

Now it's not a marching training, but a real battle. If you slow down for the first time, there will be no consequences, but if you slow down a few times in a row, you won't be able to keep up with the speed of Chen Dahu and others.

Therefore, when the officers and soldiers retreated, only Chen Dahu and others were still biting and beating the officers and soldiers, but the rest of the bandits had distanced themselves from the officers and soldiers.

As soon as the distance was opened, the officers and soldiers behind immediately saw the number of bandits clearly.

The leading officer shouted loudly, and only then did the retreating officers and soldiers wake up.

Seeing that there were only twenty people chasing and beating him fiercely, these officers and soldiers who thought they were elite were all ashamed.

The so-called courage after knowing the shame is also because the number of old man Chen and others is quite disparate compared with the officers and soldiers.

If the number of the two sides is equal, the bandits will take advantage of the advantage of the first mover and take advantage of the situation to kill more than 30 officers and soldiers, and the officers and soldiers will inevitably be defeated.

But when the officers and soldiers saw that there were less than 100 bandits in total, and only about [-] people caught up, the officers and soldiers immediately started to fight back relying on the large number of people.

There is actually another reason why officers and soldiers dare to fight back, that is, when officers and soldiers face bandits, they have a great advantage in their hearts.

This psychological advantage cannot be changed overnight.

During the reign of Chongzhen, there were many rogues all over the world, and there were tens of thousands of them at every turn, but only three to 2000 officers and soldiers dared to pursue and fight fiercely, and the rogues were wiped out one after another.

Although the officers and soldiers are all elites, while the rogues are scattered, there is no doubt that when facing the rogues, having a natural psychological advantage is also the key to victory.

Under the command of the officers, the officers and soldiers quickly stabilized their positions and began to counterattack.

There was a chaotic sound of ping-pong, and the officers, soldiers and bandits immediately fought into a group.

During the chaotic battle, there was too much difference in the number of old man Chen's side and most of them were untrained, so the disadvantages suddenly appeared.

In a short time, more than ten people fell down.

"Brothers! Behind is our small family, fighting with the officers and soldiers!" Seeing the critical situation, old man Chen shouted loudly.

"Fight with the officers and soldiers!" All the bandits shouted in unison.

The bandits were determined to go all out, and each of them was like a mad tiger. Seeing the ferocious faces of the opponents, the officers and soldiers felt fear in their hearts, and their hands inevitably weakened.

But as more and more people on Chen's side fell, the officers and soldiers gradually gained the upper hand.

Just when old man Chen and the others couldn't resist, there was a burst of shouting in the valley.

"Kill! Fight with the thieves!"

Old man Chen and the others were refreshed after hearing this, but the officers and soldiers were shocked, thinking that there was still an ambush in the valley.

But the officers and soldiers immediately saw the situation in the valley clearly. Where did the ambushes come from? They were just a group of old and weak women and children.

Seeing this situation, the officers and soldiers were all overjoyed.

When they came, they had already received the order from the superior, as long as they took down the bandit's family, the battle would be complete, afterwards, everyone would be rewarded, seeing the bandit's family coming to their door, wouldn't they cheer up?

The officers and soldiers tried their best to fight back, and broke through the formation of bandits in an instant. Except for Chen Dahu and others who were able to fight back with all their strength, including Chen Laohan and others were quickly surrounded by officers and soldiers, and then more than ten bandits were killed by officers and soldiers.

After solving the opponent, the officers and soldiers went straight to the old and weak women and children who came for reinforcements.

The few old men who rushed to the front were powerless to fight back, and soon fell under the butcher's knives of the officers and soldiers.

And when old man Chen saw Shen Zheng bringing a group of old and weak women and children to help, his heart suddenly became cold.

Old man Chen secretly sighed in his heart: "Shen Zheng, you are so confused! Even if you can't ambush, just shout loudly is more useful than this. Now that the officers and soldiers see that there are many women among these people, they must be refreshed. How can a few people stop it? Alas! Li Jing, where are you? Uncle, I have tried my best!"

Old man Chen felt desolate. Thinking of Li Jing, he felt a little desperate, but he really wanted Li Jing to appear at this time.

The image of Li Jing has undoubtedly become a powerful pillar in his heart, but now Li Jing doesn't even have a shadow!
With one arm disabled, it was already a little difficult to deal with the enemy. At this time, the mind was slightly distracted, and the movements of the hands inevitably slowed down.

At this moment, an officer and soldier seized the gap and slashed his arm fiercely.

If it wasn't for the cold winter, old man Chen was wearing a thick cotton coat, and this knife would have chopped off his arm.

The old man Chen was in pain, and he couldn't hold the sword in his hand, so he fell to the ground immediately.

The soldier was overjoyed, old man Chen shouted for command, he must be the leader of the bandits, if he beheaded, he would be rewarded a lot.

The soldier swung his knife and chopped at Old Man Chen's neck.

At this time, everyone was fighting fiercely, Chen Dahu was still far away, seeing his father was about to be killed by the enemy, Chen Dahu's eyes were blood red, and he wanted to breathe fire, he raised his sword and cut the opponent in two, but was immediately surrounded by several officers and soldiers.

Although Chen Dahu was brave, he couldn't kill the officers and soldiers immediately, he could only watch helplessly as his father was about to be killed by the officers and soldiers.

"father!"

Chen Dahu's roar came from the crowd of officers and soldiers. He is like a mad lion, thinking of breaking through to save old man Chen, but there is still no time?

at this time!

Suddenly, a long arrow shot straight from the back of the soldier's head to his forehead, and the soldier let out a wild roar and fell to the ground.

Old man Chen narrowly escaped death, his heart was still in shock, and he followed the direction of the arrow and looked into the distance.

I saw a person in the distance, with a mask on his face, he couldn't see his face, and he was running towards this side.

The man stretched his bow and fired his arrows as he ran, without stopping at all, and his archery skills were so accurate that every time an arrow was shot, an officer and soldier would surely fall down.

Seeing this man's amazing archery skills, old man Chen was both surprised and delighted.

What surprised me was that the visitor had never seen archery before, and what pleased me was that the visitor was a friend rather than an enemy.

At this moment, a delicate voice came from a distance: "Master, help!"

During the chaotic battle, this voice actually came from afar, one can imagine how frightened the owner of the voice was.

"Don't panic!" The visitor shouted, and shot an arrow into the distance.

Then there was a scream in the distance.

A soldier who was about to attack some women fell down with an arrow.

"Boss, come and save Miss!" the voice sounded again.

The visitor looked at the place where the sound came from, and saw several soldiers chasing two young girls. One of the girls was running and shouting in panic. It was Shen Ying's personal servant girl.

It was Li Jing who came!

Li Jing brought Chen Erhu and others, regardless of fatigue, rushed to Wanbai Mountain.

His physical fitness far exceeds that of everyone else, and the hundred-mile mountain road can't help him, but Chen Erhu and others' physical strength gradually can't support them, and many brothers start to fall behind.

Li Jing was worried about the small family of the brothers, seeing that they couldn't keep up, he immediately ordered everyone to rest, and he went to rescue alone without waiting.

Li Jing came at the right time, and when he arrived at the valley, he saw old man Chen facing danger, and immediately shot the soldier dead.

At this time, the battle situation was chaotic, and dozens of bandits were divided and surrounded by officers and soldiers. Li Jing didn't care to greet old man Chen, so he could only rescue the emergency first.

The arrows were fired without fail, and more than ten officers and soldiers were shot and killed in a blink of an eye.

Li Jing was about to organize the rescued people, when he suddenly heard someone calling.

Li Jing didn't think about it, and shot a soldier who was about to molest a woman with an arrow.

I don't want that voice to come again.

Suddenly, Li Jing's heart shuddered, he was wearing a mask and someone could recognize him.

When he heard the man calling for Miss Quick Rescue, Li Jing suddenly understood.

Li Jing used to scare Shen Ying's servant girl with a mask, so when the little servant girl saw the mask, she knew it was Li Jing.

Although old man Chen and others were familiar with Li Jing, they never thought that Li Jing would wear a mask, so they didn't recognize Li Jinglai.

Hearing the little maid calling for Miss Hurry up, Li Jing felt anxious, and looked around, and soon saw several soldiers chasing two girls in the distance.

Li Jing kept walking, arrow after arrow, shooting down three soldiers in an instant.

The few remaining soldiers were terrified, they turned around and wanted to run away, but when they glanced away, they saw that Li Jing's arrow had shot empty.

The soldiers were overjoyed and did not run away, but turned around and continued to chase Shen Ying.

These few people also know that the two beauties in front of them must be relatives of the visitor, as long as these two beauties are taken down, the visitor will definitely be captured without a fight.

But Li Jing shot three arrows in a row to kill three soldiers, and when he touched the quiver behind his back, he realized that the quiver was empty.

At this moment, two officers and soldiers suddenly stabbed Li Jing with their guns.

Li Jing passed a long spear by one side of his body, and suddenly grabbed another long spear with his right hand.

At the same time, with a wave of his left hand, the bowstring caught the soldier's neck that had pierced through the spear.

The soldier stabbed in the air with his long spear, his body suddenly lost his center of gravity, and he staggered forward, as if sending his head up.

Li Jing turned his left hand, and the bowstring tightly strangled the soldier's neck.

Needless to say the quality of Li Jing's compound bow, the soldier's neck was hooped as if it was about to break.

Li Jing didn't want to waste time on the two soldiers, so after wrapping around the soldier's neck, his left foot flew up and hit the soldier's abdomen.

The soldier fell back involuntarily after being hit by this blow, but his neck was tightly bound, so he couldn't relieve the force of the kick. He only heard a crack in his neck, and then his body fell limply.

With a shake of his left hand, Li Jing took out the bowstring from the man's neck, and the man slowly fell to the ground.
