Chapter 59 The True Strength of the Boss
Seeing the bandits suddenly rushing out, everyone in the team's faces changed drastically!
The leader of the escort team quickly drew his sword and, while guarding them, loudly demanded, "Who are you?
We are escorting the son of a Hanlin scholar and his family to the capital. If anything happens to them, the court will investigate thoroughly. Gentlemen, please do not be careless!"
These words made the bandits' faces change drastically. They all looked shocked and turned to look at their leader.
Someone questioned dissatisfiedly, "Boss, didn't you say we were just robbing ordinary merchants? How could that man claim to be the son of a Hanlin scholar?"
"He was just bragging to deceive you, and you believed him? If they were really the family of an official, why weren't they escorted by soldiers?
They are clearly treating us like fools and deliberately lying to us!
Brothers, don't listen to his nonsense, come on! Kill these bastards, don't leave any alive! "
Some people still had doubts, but many people in the team shouted "Kill" and rushed towards the convoy with weapons in hand.
For a moment, the shouts of killing shook the sky, and the two sides quickly engaged in battle.
Seeing this, even though the remaining people had doubts, they knew they had no way to retreat, so they could only rush forward and chop the man down first.
Just as the bandits rushed out, Tu Yong and Xie Xiu in the carriage lifted the curtains and stood at the front of the carriage, directing the men to fight while guarding them with weapons.
Xie Xiu observed his surroundings coldly and found that although the young and strong men in the village and the members of the escort team were fighting hard, they were also obviously a little panicked.
He was secretly disappointed, but he also knew that he couldn't blame them.
Even though the members of the escort team often escort goods and are experienced, they can't help but panic when they suddenly encounter so many bandits who want to stop them and kill people.
The same is true for the young and strong people in the village. No matter how many times they train on a daily basis, they have never experienced life-and-death battles, so they are naturally no match for the veterans on the battlefield.
So at times like this, someone needs to command them and give them a backbone.
Otherwise, it won't be long before the panic in their hearts continues to grow, and they will eventually become a loose sand and be at the mercy of others.
In the chaos, no one noticed that countless transparent filaments were emerging from the ground, silently piercing into the bandits' feet and constantly devouring their lives.
The weeds growing close to the ground provide the best cover for these filaments.
So, the people who were originally a little panicked soon discovered that the bandits' movements were a little slow, but they were actually not scary. So they became as excited as if they had been injected with chicken blood and became full of fighting spirit.
Xie Xiu and Tu Yong, who had been commanding the battle, also discovered this.
Although the two were a little surprised, they did not let down their guard, and would not waste this great opportunity, so they shouted to encourage each other.
"Don't worry, everyone. The county magistrate has specially arranged for officers and soldiers to secretly follow and guard us. Although they are taking another route, they are definitely not far from here.
They must have heard the fighting over here and are rushing over here!
These bandits are just a mob with mediocre strength. As long as everyone is careful and holds out until reinforcements arrive, these bandits will be trapped!
Once we get rid of these evil bandits, we will all be heroes!"
When everyone heard this, they became even more excited as if they had been injected with chicken blood. They all turned into berserkers and attacked the bandits.
When the bandits heard what Xie Xiu said, they panicked again.
Someone couldn't help but shout, "Boss, this is too tough. Let's retreat! Their reinforcements are coming!"
The big boss was also very panicked at this time, but when he thought of the man in black whom he met not long ago, he was terrified!
That person is so scary!
Not only is she very powerful, but she also knows his secrets. If he retreats, death will be waiting for him!
He can't retreat!
Must fight!
"Don't believe his lies! They definitely don't have any reinforcements, they're just trying to trick us into retreating!
Brothers, we must not retreat. This pretty boy is very sinister. We must kill him. Otherwise, if he escapes alive, he will definitely not let us go!"
As he spoke, he was secretly anxious and secretly looked towards the direction of the dense forest.
What about the archers?
Why haven't you launched a sneak attack yet?
Could it be that he was scared away?
The eldest boss panicked and could no longer wait, so he shouted, "Shoot!"
When everyone heard this, their faces suddenly changed, and the morale that had just been boosted was instantly shattered.
However, everyone waited vigilantly for a long time, but still did not see any arrows shot from the dense forest.
Everyone raised their eyebrows in surprise and looked suspiciously at the group of bandits and the surrounding dense forest.
The bandits were even more shocked and even a little panicked.
Where are the arrows?
Could it be that those bastards really ran away?
The more they thought about it, the more dissatisfied they became. They couldn't help but shout in panic: "Shoot! Shoot! Shoot! Shoot the arrows for me quickly!"
The roar reached the sky.
At the same time, in the dense forest, the archers who were hiding in various positions had already frozen in place, with their pupils dilated, like statues.
In another dense forest, ten men in tight-fitting clothes stood on the treetops, all with serious expressions.
"Sir, something is wrong."
"Yes, sir, those bandits seem to be in trouble. Xie Xiu also said that soldiers are on their way."
"Sir, should we retreat?"
Young Master Bai's face was gloomy. He suddenly raised his longbow, nodding an arrow and drawing the bow while ordering everyone: "Those bandits won't do. Let's do it ourselves! Release the arrows and kill Xie Xiu!"
As he finished speaking, he suddenly narrowed one eye and fixed his stern gaze on Xie Xiu who was standing at the front of the carriage.
The slender fingers released the bowstring, and the arrow shot out with a "whoosh" sound.
Seeing this, the others drew their bows and aimed at Xie Xiu.
In order to boost everyone's morale, Xie Xiu stood at the front of the carriage, making him the perfect target.
But no one noticed that transparent threads had spread along the tree trunk and reached their feet.
They were about to shoot arrows when they suddenly felt a sharp pain in the Yongquan point on the bottom of their feet!
The sudden intense pain made them shiver instinctively, and the bows and arrows in their hands deviated from their direction and shot out crookedly.
Young Master Bai looked at the arrows that were shot at an angle and immediately realized that something was wrong. He quickly turned to look at other people.
"You guys..." What's going on?
Before he could finish the rest of the sentence, he heard his subordinate shout in pain: "Sir, be careful!"
Mr. Bai instantly became alert: What should he be careful about?
Just as he was about to ask, he suddenly felt a sharp pain in the sole of his foot, as if some sharp thorn had instantly pierced into his foot!
At the same time, he heard another subordinate yelling in pain: "Master, watch your step!"
Mr. Bai's face darkened, but before he could get angry, he heard his subordinates yell again, "Mr. Be careful!"
At the same time, a huge sense of crisis instantly enveloped his whole body!
He looked forward in horror and saw a black dot whizzing towards him.
He widened his eyes in horror and finally saw the true appearance of the black spot - it was an arrow!
