Zhang Yu quickly put on his hat and walked out of the tent with Xia Sword in hand. He saw a group of people approaching them from about a mile away. There were about a hundred people in total, and the group was very scattered. They seemed to be coming from all directions, and it looked like they were going to surround them.
With his outstanding eyesight, even in the night, he could clearly see the outfits of these people.
Many of these people were wearing clothes decorated with feathers and vines. Their faces were painted, but they held hammers, spears, swords and other metal weapons in their hands. They carried bows and arrows on their backs. A few of them even wore ancient stone armor. Their footsteps were extremely heavy. It was very likely that they were the so-called heretics.
He didn't expect that before they could find them, the other party had already taken the initiative to come to them.
But how did the other party find this place so accurately?
His thoughts turned. It was very likely that these people had spies among the militia during the day and saw them coming downstream.
At this time, the Wen brothers also heard the commotion outside and came out of the tent. They also saw this group of people.
But at this time, they found that Cai Pa wasn't there.
But at this time, they couldn't care about this. Dealing with the enemy in front of them was the most important thing. Since they didn't know the other party's background, it would be disadvantageous for them to attack rashly. After exchanging a few words with Zhang Yu, the two of them decided to each guard a direction and leave the other side to the eight helpers.
The helpers were clearly well trained. They were all wearing their clothes and their reactions were also very fast. When they heard the commotion, they all came out of the tent one by one. Now that they received the order, they immediately took out their weapons. Three of them held shields and stood at the front. Four of them stood at the back with guns and one of them stood at the back with a bow and arrow. They held their breaths and waited with rapt attention.
Zhang Yu, on the other hand, came to the south. He could see that there were the least number of people along the way. There were only twelve people. This group of people should have come from the north. Perhaps they wanted to catch all of them in one fell swoop, so the passersby should have planned to block their escape route.
But the other party probably didn't expect that as soon as they approached, they would be detected. This meant that the other party at most knew of their numbers but didn't have an accurate estimate of their fighting strength.
After these people discovered the movements in the encampment, they knew that they had been exposed. They were also dauntless and immediately launched an attack. Five or six people drew the bows in their hands and shot towards the encampment.
Zhang Yu did not unsheathe his sword. With a light wave of his arm, he pushed them aside. However, he soon saw that a few of them were lifting something in their hands. He immediately took a step to the side.
A few flashes of light came from the opposite side, followed by the sound of gunfire. A large part of the antlers on one side was shattered, and countless fragments flew out.
He casually patted away the broken pieces. At this time, he heard the sound of gunfire coming from several other places. It was obvious that they had encountered the same situation.
The helpers were facing the north. Forty to fifty people were rushing towards them aggressively. At this time, their shields were also hit by a few rounds of gunfire. However, the shields were obviously specially made by Xuanfu. The gunfire couldn't penetrate them. However, two helpers holding shields seemed to have been hit by a hammer. They vomited blood and fell to the ground, paralyzed.
However, the four helpers holding guns at the back seized this opportunity and fired a round of gunfire. A few people on the opposite side immediately fell. Then, they immediately abandoned their guns and took out their bows. In just a few breaths, they had shot down more than ten people.
The helper standing at the back suddenly shot an arrow. It hit the face of a person who looked like the leader. The man's head tilted back and he fell backward.
As soon as this person died, the group of people was stunned. Their footsteps slowed down, as if they were at a loss. Some people hurriedly ran back, and this action immediately attracted the attention of the others. However, they were immediately shot down by the arrows that followed them. In the blink of an eye, more than half of them were dead.
It seemed that the number of people attacking here was the highest, but it was the weakest place in terms of combat strength. It was almost as if they were beaten down the moment they came up.
On the other hand, the people attacking the Wen brothers were very ferocious. First, they fired a row of gunfire. Then, they threw a wave of spears and axes. After that, they roared and rushed up.
However, after charging for a short while, most of them began to stumble.
The helpers had filled the entrance and the downhill path with stones. They had also dug shallow pits. This made the path appear rugged. This affected the speed of their charge. Naturally, their speed couldn't be fast.
The Wen brothers, on the other hand, were not in a hurry. They grabbed a few rocks in their hands and easily crushed them into small pieces. Then, they leaned back slightly and used their strength to scatter the rocks downwards. The strength of the rocks was not much weaker than that of a gun. Amidst the crackling sounds and screams, a large number of people who were attacking from both sides fell down.
On Zhang Yu's side, he realized that although the people opposite him had the least number of people, they were the most composed. They did not rush up but kept shooting with their guns and arrows from afar.
He thought about it. Without the protection of the light, he could not block the attacks of the guns. Although it would not be easy for the other side to hit him, standing there and being attacked was definitely not a good choice.
It seemed that he could only take the initiative to attack.
He also knew that if the other side dared to block his retreat, they must have some ability. From the beginning until now, this group of people had been unusually calm. Therefore, he was also a hundred percent careful. "Quick Thoughts", "Zha Sheng", "Zhuang Sheng", the three seals were activated. At the same time, he exerted force on his feet and rushed down the slope.
"Du du du …"
A few arrows fell from the sky but only landed on the position he was originally standing at.
The other side obviously did not expect him to choose to rush down alone. A few of them raised their guns again but found that his speed was too fast. They could not aim at him. Therefore, they simply threw the guns on the ground and pulled out the short knives beside them to meet him.
At this moment, Zhang Yu had already charged up to the front. As he arrived, a dazzling sword light slashed into the enemy. In an instant, broken limbs and body parts flew into the air. At the same time, a few short cries of agony rang out.
Almost in the blink of an eye, four out of the twelve people fell.
They had lost three of their men in one move. If it was a normal person, they would have lost their will to fight on the spot. However, these people were not frightened by this. Instead, they quickly spread out and surrounded Zhang Yu.
When one of them rolled out to avoid the sword light, he picked up the gun on the ground. As he stood up, he spat out a strange syllable at him.
Zhang Yu suddenly felt a force that seemed to want to enter his mind. He knew that this must be the other side trying to influence his mind. However, under the protection of "Zha Sheng", he was not affected at all. He took a step forward. The sharp sword light flashed and immediately rushed to the next target. The person holding the gun froze for a moment. In an instant, a line of blood appeared on his body. Half of his body, along with the gun that was cut open, slid down diagonally.
Under the night sky, the sword light was like lightning, flickering continuously.
Zhang Yu's sleeves fluttered. He killed one person with a sword. In just a few breaths, all the enemies here were killed. He was the only one standing with a sword.
He shook the blade and looked up. The battle there was almost coming to an end. The enemies on three sides were defeated. However, strangely, most of the retreating heretics did not escape in the way they came. Instead, they retreated to the east side of the river where there was no retreat. They reorganized on the riverbank. However, it seemed that they did not want to continue fighting. Instead, they looked back frequently as if they were waiting for something.
He realized that things might not be over yet. Perhaps there were still enemies who had not arrived.
At this moment, several breaths suddenly appeared in his heart lake. These breaths were extremely chaotic and twisted into a ball. It did not seem like a person at all. In other words, they were beyond the scope of a human.
A burst of mist rose from the surface of the river, and it was unknown when five people had appeared, and were walking over step by step on the surface of the water. However, what was surprising was that these people were all wearing the Daoist robes of the Profound Palace. At this moment, under the contrast of the surrounding mist, they were strolling over, floating like immortals.
The two brothers, Wen Guo and Wen De, did not think that these people were on their side just because they were wearing Xuanfu robes. However, they also realized that these people were not simple. They immediately ordered the helpers to tidy up and prepare to meet the enemies.
The helper with the bow estimated the distance between the two sides. It seemed that he wanted to test the waters with an arrow. However, before he could do so, a voice came from behind. "Don't do it!"
Everyone turned around. Cai Pa had appeared behind them.
Wen De said happily, "Martial Uncle Cai, you're back? Where have you been? "
Zhang Yu looked at him and did not say anything.
Cai Pa did not answer. He walked in front of everyone with a serious expression and looked in the direction of the river.
Wen Guo asked, "Martial Uncle, who are those people? Why do I feel that they are a bit like our Xuanfu comrades? "
There was an inexplicable meaning in Cai Pa's eyes. He sighed heavily and said in a heavy voice, "They … you can see them as another Xuanfu people."
