Turbulent Times Chapter 154: Night battle (middle)

Mai Tiezhang's face suddenly became extremely gloomy. The more than 20 green forest heroes he sent out to search and guard all the way before were already in danger. The most important thing is that they are blocked here now. Even if he is the best among the masters in the breaking power stage, but there is only one exit, and there are troops blocking it with crossbows and hard bows outside, he wants to rush out forcibly , It is also a matter of ten deaths and nine lives.

Some people thought of climbing over the wall in other directions, but as soon as their heads were exposed, they were shot off the wall by crossbow arrows. After several green forest heroes died, no one dared to climb the wall again.

"Old Mai, it's not good. This yard has been surrounded by people, and there are no less than a thousand enemy soldiers outside." Niu Jinda, the only one who climbed up the wall, survived being shot, and jumped down alive, roared through gritted teeth.

All the green forest heroes suddenly changed color. Although they are all tough guys who dare to fight and fight hard, but they are caught in such a deadly situation, no matter how hard they fight, it is useless!

"Remove the door, dismantle the table and chairs, find something that can block arrows, hurry up, and then I will lead everyone to rush out." Mai Tiezhang regained his composure at this time, and gave the most correct instructions.

All the heroes of the green forest had a backbone and immediately moved. Soon everyone found something that could block the arrows.

"If you rush out, you will live." With a low growl, Mai Tiezhang held the door in one hand and the iron gun in the other, and rushed out first. The others gathered behind him in three groups. The broken door alone blocked all the space in the front, and the people behind blocked the two sides with their hands. If there is no accident at their speed, they can rush into the surrounding army in a few breaths. Engage in melee combat. And as long as they are in close combat, they have the confidence to fight their way out.

"Fire the rockets!" Wang Junlin, who was hidden in the blackness far away, seemed to have anticipated this scene, and ordered lightly.

Then a piece of rocket covered the façades, tables, desks, etc. in the hands of a group of green forest heroes. Instantly burned up. The green forest heroes were so frightened that they hurriedly threw out the objects that were blocking the arrows in their hands. Some of the green forest heroes who were unresponsive and whose objects were too small were ignited, and instantly turned into a burning man, screaming pitifully. The frightened green forest hero finally showed panic on his face.

At this time, they had just rushed out of the yard less than ten steps away, but they were already completely exposed to the opponent's crossbow arrows. If they rushed forward any more, they would all be shot to death within fifty steps.

Mai Tiezhang reacted very quickly, and immediately shouted that the more than 60 green forest heroes who were still alive were back to back, forming a circular formation facing outwards, so that each of them only had to put the things in front of them The crossbow and arrows can be opened, and since the weakest of them have the strength of the foundation stage, it is not difficult to knock out ordinary bows and arrows at a certain distance. But when the distance is relatively close, and the opponent is using a steel crossbow whose arrow speed is much faster than that of a bow, they will only end up looking for death.

"Let's go!" Mai Tiezhang knew very well that the longer they dragged at this time, the less they would have a chance to survive, so as soon as the circle formation formed, he took him as the lead and rushed towards one of the directions with small steps. This direction was not chosen randomly. In the instant just now, he had already judged from the noisy voices from this direction and the arrows shot before that although the soldiers in this direction could not be called a mob, they were definitely not elite.

"Shoot!" It was not Wang Junlin who issued the order in the dark, but Jing Zhaoyin Wang Tong who hurriedly led a thousand soldiers. The 20 guards withdrew from the encirclement, leaving the task of encircling, capturing or killing Mai Tiezhang to Wang Tong. This was originally the most important part of Wang Junlin's plan.

Wang Tong is Jing Zhaoyin, but in the important area of ​​the capital, there are hundreds of thieves sneaking into the city to assassinate the court princes. It is so simple to be the governor of the state. The Guanlongmen faction and the Zhongxing family are the main ones, and the civil and military forces that almost occupy the entire dynasty will inevitably impeach him. Even the emperor will be forced to punish him for his dereliction of duty. Therefore, Wang Tong at this moment is full of gratitude to Wang Junlin, and hates all the thieves.

Of course Wang Junlin would not tell him that the leader of these thieves was General Mai Tiezhang, a great hero who had just returned from suppressing the rebellion in Shu, and he still had to wait for some wonderful things to happen.

Wang Tong obviously wanted to catch people alive, so instead of ordering everyone to use rockets, he divided 1,000 people into two groups of 500 people and shot them with ordinary feather arrows in turn.

Among the sound of the rain of arrows piercing the air, the remaining 60 or so green forest heroes showed great strength. Under the threat of life and death, the weapons in their hands danced again and again, and only 17 of them died in four consecutive rounds. It can be seen that Mai Tiezhang has a high prestige among these people. Under his yelling, he has never panicked. As long as there is a death, he will immediately shrink the circle, so that there are no gaps in the circle, so that everyone only needs to be responsible for themselves. Feathered arrows in front of him. Moreover, they had pushed forward more than 30 steps without knowing it, and they were less than 30 steps away from the nearest government soldier.

"My lord, the thieves are fierce, and they may escape in close combat. It is the best policy to let the soldiers retreat, keep a distance, and shoot them slowly." After all, Wang Tong is a civil servant, and he is not good at commanding troops. Just now Wang Junlin ordered Shen Guang and Zhan Peng to bring all the horses and put all the guards on the horses, preparing to surround and kill the powerful thieves who might break through the encirclement. When he turned around and found that the situation was not good, he quickly reminded Wang Tong.

However, it was too late, Mai Tiezhang suddenly shouted: "Follow me and rush out!"

Then he immediately rushed towards the nearest government soldiers with an iron gun in hand. Mai Tiezhang used to be the guard of Empress Chen during the day in Chen Dynasty in the south of the Yangtze River, and he went to rob hundreds of miles away at night. War horses have two legs. Although the generals in the Sui army didn't know about it, no one knew about the wheat iron stick, which is known as the **** of protection, when it travels hundreds of miles a day on the green forest road.

Thirty steps away, Mai Tiezhang arrived in two or three breaths, and because he was too fast and had a ferocious aura, the soldiers in front of him were frightened by his aura, and they only had time to shoot one round, and they were too accurate. Difference.

In the middle of the courtyard, the beacon fire was fierce, the flames and blood splashed in the air, and the dust was raised on the ground. Right in front of him, more than 100 government soldiers fought their way out, and 50 or so green forest heroes followed behind him to expand the results of the battle.

Just now I was surrounded by a thousand people and shot them with feather arrows. Although Wang Tong and the thousand soldiers all felt that the thief was powerful, they didn't have a clear understanding. Only now did I realize that these people dared to attack with only a hundred people. Those who came to the capital to assassinate princes, especially Qin Anhou, who dared to kill the famous murderer, were obviously real masters and killers.

Under melee combat and in the darkness, under the command of Wang Tong, a thousand government soldiers did not form a battle formation. Facing the fifty weakest masters who were all in the foundation-building stage, they instantly became destructive. People who were led by Mai Tiezhang rushed out alive, and in the process, only three of the fifty or so green forest heroes lost their lives.

"Surround up, hurry up, kill a thief, and hurt ten gold." Wang Tong did not expect that the soldiers under his command to maintain the law and order of the capital would be so careless in close combat with the robbers. correct order.

With a heavy reward, there must be a brave man. All the government soldiers rushed forward again, but after a fight, the casualties were heavy. Although they were still besieged, few people dared to stop them.

Wang Tong was smart at this time, and ordered all the government soldiers to distance themselves and shoot the thieves with arrows. Take the initiative to enter the group of government soldiers, and always protect and fight with the government soldiers, so that the distant government soldiers cannot shoot arrows on a large scale.

It didn't take long before Mai Tiezhang led a group of green forest heroes to the side door. During this process, only five of them died, and now there are forty-one people left.

Seeing that they were about to rush out of the Marquis of Qin'an's mansion, Mai Tiezhang and his party were ecstatic, and their fighting and killing intent was even stronger. Crashed and fled in all directions.

Mai Tiequan kicked open the side door, led people out, and came to the street.

At the same time, a cavalry team of about 100 people suddenly turned from the street in front of the main gate of the Marquis of Qin An's Mansion, and rushed towards Mai Tiezhang and other green forest heroes in front of the side gate like a torrent.

"There is a group of government soldiers blocking the way ahead!" Zhan Peng shouted at Wang Junlin on horseback.

"Whoever dares to block the way, let's kill them!" Wang Junlin was startled, and saw fifty paces ahead, more than 20 government soldiers in Sui khaki military uniforms blocked the intersection.

"There are thieves making trouble, Jing Zhaoyin was ordered to arrest the thieves, and the street is closed!" A low-ranking officer in the uniform of a sixth-rank soldier shouted loudly. In the end, letting the other party pass by has already delayed the other party's time, right? But he didn't expect that the speed of the opponent's horses did not decrease at all, but accelerated and charged straight at them, seeing that the momentum was not weaker than thousands of troops.

"Get out of the way quickly, and those who stand in the way will die!" Wang Junlin rode a blood-maned horse that was inexplicably excited and ran straight over. He had already seen Mai Tiezhang and his party escape from the side door. The other party scattered and sneaked into the surrounding houses. With the strength of these people and the fact that there must be a big person in the dark to protect them, it would be almost impossible to capture or kill them again.

The low-ranking officer of the government soldiers saw the cavalry coming non-stop, and was frightened to dodge, but the speed of the blood-maned horse was too fast, and he was already too late.
