What the hell was this!
The gap was too big. It was a few ranks apart.
"Boss Zhan, what do we do now?"
All the bandits looked at Zhan Chaofan. He was the leader of this group, and the situation was not good. If this continued, they might not even be able to fill the gaps between their teeth.
Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!
The crossbow bolts were like locusts crossing the border, covering the sky and covering the earth. His brothers who had just gathered were drowned in the rain of arrows, making Zhan Chaofan's face turn extremely ugly.
"Let's retreat first!"
Zhan Chaofan's eyes fell on the enemy camp. The arrows in the hands of the Flame Army were shining coldly. Almost everyone had one. He couldn't help but sigh,""This damned Blazing Flame Army, how could they have so many crossbow bolts? Let's retreat into the stronghold and hide!”
At this moment, he could not care less about attacking the other party. The firepower of the other party was simply terrifying to the extreme, making his people completely unable to breathe.
Even if they did, they would probably suffer heavy losses.
The remaining soldiers were no threat to the enemy infantry.
Forcefully holding on would only result in greater losses.
The key was that the enemy could kill them with one arrow, but they could not penetrate the enemy's armor. This battle could not be fought!
"Retreat, quickly retreat to the village!"
The mountain bandits did not hesitate when they heard this. They immediately retreated into Lantao Mountain Stronghold. Fortunately, the stronghold was large enough to accommodate more than 10,000 people. However, there were not many gaps between them.
However, looking at the dense army outside, the few villages could not help but feel their scalps go numb.
"Damn it, these guys are not bandits, they are clearly regular soldiers. With such firepower from the bandits, I'm going to be a local tyrant!”
"We're in big trouble this time. We've been surrounded by them. God knows how many of them there are.”
The mountain bandits were scared out of their wits. This Flame Army was too terrifying. Compared to them, they were really small thieves. The other party was trying to rob the country.
Zhan Chaofan sighed and said,""Now that things have come to this, we can't retreat. Their crossbow bolts can't be endless. There will be a time when they run out!”
Everyone nodded. This was a good idea, but could such a stronghold really withstand the enemy's firepower?
The one-eyed man heaved a sigh of relief and said bitterly,""Fortunately, these arrows can't penetrate the wooden planks. Otherwise, we would be living targets for others.”
"That's right."
Whoosh!
As soon as he finished speaking, the one-eyed man's body trembled. An arrowhead appeared from his chest, and blood flowed out without regard for his life.
Everyone looked over and saw a huge crossbow bolt as thick as a child's arm. It pierced through the wooden board and stabbed into One-Eyed Dragon's body. The other bandit only glanced at it curiously before he was skewered.
The one-eyed man only struggled a few times before he breathed his last. This crossbow bolt was no joke.
F * ck!
Everyone's faces instantly turned pale. It was actually not safe to hide here. This time, they were in big trouble.
Zhan Chaofan swallowed his saliva and said in a deep voice,""Fortunately, siege crossbows are not easy to carry. The other party should not have many."
Pu, pu, pu, pu!
This crossbow bolt was like a horn. Following that, the enemy's siege crossbows spread out like a tide. The original stronghold of Lantao Island was instantly in chaos.
These wooden houses couldn't withstand the destructive power at all.
More than a dozen bandits who were close to the outside were directly pierced through and fell to the ground, wailing. It was obvious that there was no hope. However, it was not so easy to die. In the end, it would be painful to death.
Everyone looked at Zhan Chaofan and said angrily,""Motherf * cker, this isn't much. It's almost going to destroy us!”
Originally, they had come for the benefits. Now that so many people had died before they could obtain the benefits, it would be strange if these people did not explode.
As their subordinates were killed one by one, these people became angrier and angrier.
If it wasn't for this guy, they wouldn't have suffered like this.
At this moment, they were filled with hatred.
Zhan Chaofan's expression changed when he saw their malicious eyes. How could he not know what they were thinking?
"What do you want?"
"Hmph, you offended the Blazing Flame Army. As long as we hand you over, we can all live.”
"You guys are dreaming. The Blazing Flame Army clearly wants to unify the Hundred Thousand Mountains. If it weren't for me, you guys would have been swept away!”
In the village, the situation instantly became tense. Everyone was on guard against each other.
"Stop!"
Just as they were about to go crazy, the Blazing Flame Army suddenly stopped attacking.
The rain of arrows finally disappeared, which made Zhan Chaofan and the others heave a sigh of relief. However, they were curious why the Flame Army suddenly stopped attacking.
"What's going on? Are they going to rest halfway, or are the Blazing Flame Army out of arrows?”
The bandits mustered up their courage and came out, only to find that the Blazing Flame Army had suddenly made way for them.
"I know," one of the bandits said excitedly,"the Blazing Flame Army must have let us go on purpose, so they opened up a path."”
Thinking of this, he could not help but ride his horse and rush towards the gap. This place was too dangerous. It was better to leave quickly.
"Impudent!"
Jiang Yingyu snorted coldly. The Green Dragon Crescent Blade in his hand flashed, and the bandit was directly cut in half on the horse's back.
This scene frightened the group of people and they quickly retreated.
At this moment, they heard a strange sound coming from the mountain path.
Two furry heads appeared in front of them, causing their expressions to change slightly.
"This is an Iron Eater!"
"Heavens, there's actually someone who can ride an Iron Eater. Could he be the reincarnation of Chi You?”
The Iron Eater was a terrifying beast here. It was said to be Chi You's mount, and now it had appeared.
More importantly, these two Iron Eaters were carrying two people on their backs, which made them very afraid. There was actually someone riding an Iron Eater. Could it be the reincarnation of the God of War, Chi You?
"The reincarnation of the God of War Chi You, can't you see that there are two of them?”
Li Ke could not help but twitch the corner of his mouth when faced with everyone's respectful gazes. This Iron Eater did not seem to be very smart, causing him to almost crash into a tree.
If it weren't for his skills, he would probably have to go down the mountain to look for her.
"My lord, we have already surrounded Lantao Island. We can annihilate them at any time!”Jiang Yingyu's mouth twitched when he saw Li Ke's mount.
"Mm, not bad!"
Li Ke looked at the bandits in the field. These people were more or less injured, and their eyes were filled with fear. They were obviously frightened by the firepower of the Flame Army just now.
It would not be bad if he could recruit these guys, but Li Ke did not want to let them go.
The assassination attempt on him earlier was related to them. How could he let them off?
"You are Zhan Chaofan?"
His eyes fell on Zhan Chaofan and he began to observe him carefully.
This guy looked dignified, but the key was that his aura was different from ordinary bandits. He had the aura of an army. This guy was a soldier.
Zhan Chaofan looked at Li Ke and his pupils constricted. It was indeed the King of Shu.
He had previously obtained Li Ke's portrait, but his mission was to assassinate Li Ke. However, he did not expect Li Ke to turn the tables in such a desperate situation, making him sigh.
Could it really be fate?
Looking at Li Ke's eyes, he knew that his identity had probably been discovered. He said simply,"Zhan Chaofan greets His Highness the King of Shu!"
"Do you have anything to say to this king?" Li Ke did not deny it and smiled.
His words instantly silenced the entire place. All the bandits stared at Li Ke with their mouths agape. The other party actually admitted it. Could he be the King of Shu, Li Ke?
