Retrograde

Chapter 49 Stabbing with Victory

In the calculations of Ye Hao and his subordinates, Xu Jinghong is bound to be doomed this time. Because they have an absolute advantage and a sudden disaster, he and his fifth team must have no choice but to wait for killing. However, everything deviated significantly at the beginning. Xu Jinghong actually made trouble earlier than them. He not only shot Ye Tao, but also led people straight to Pang Black Tiger and destroyed them in one go.

When the soldiers of the local character battalion disguised as barbarians came over, they were surprised to see that all the people who could cut off the way behind had been hacked. Now they are anxious, because Xu Jinghong and others can quickly retreat into the city, and it is impossible for them to hurt them again. Seeing that the target was about to slip away, and their own people died at the hands of the other party, this moment aroused their idea of being eager to kill the enemy. Then, these "barbarians" launched a final charge and vowed to kill all the people of the fifth team before entering the city.

Because everyone thinks like this, everyone has no other precautions. But the fact surprised them, because in a blink of an eye, the fifth team, who should have retreated back to the city, suddenly turned around and killed them back. They dared to counterattack in such a situation, which once again made the people of the Dizi Camp feel extremely difficult to understand and accept, and also slowed down their movements, because everyone was wondering what reason the fifth team had to do so.

In such a moment, under the leadership of Xu Jinghong, the soldiers of the fifth team have gone straight to the front of the "barians" like a whirlwind. Without any hesitation, the weapons in their hands went straight to the "barians" who were still a little stunned and distracted. Immediately, more than a dozen "barians" fell into a pool of blood.

It was not until the battle began that the "barians" woke up from shock and hurriedly organized people to resist. It's so strange that the fifth team, which should have been at a disadvantage, actually suppressed the enemy to fight when their strength was far inferior to that of the other party, while the "barbarians" were killed in a hurry and began to appear a crack in their formation.

Xu Jinghong, who was at the front of the team, immediately saw the flaw. The long knife in his hand cut down a "barbarian" in front of him to the ground, and then strode forward and hit the gap. And the soldiers behind him did not have any lag. As he rushed forward, they stabbed into the "barbarian" team like a sharp knife and cut them in half.

In the middle of the team, Wang Junqing's face also showed admiration. Although the cooperation between these horses of the fifth team and their personal abilities cannot be compared with the elite soldiers of the scouts, their invincible momentum is still amazing. You should know that in this kind of battle between the two armies and fighting with their lives, momentum is the root of all battles. As long as your momentum is strong enough, it is not difficult to defeat the strong with the weak.

Of course, this alone is not enough to make Wang Junqing, who has led soldiers for 20 years, admire him. What really surprises him is the absolute trust of the brothers of the fifth team for Xu Jinghong. This kind of killing method of one person first and tens of thousands of people can only be achieved by ancient names. Xu Jinghong showed it again today. Although there were only 20 people behind him, their mutual trust had been revealed at this moment.

"No wonder he dares to meet the people of the camp with so few people, because he believes in his brother! Even if the enemy's strength far exceeds him, Xu Jinghong still has the strength to fight. After Wang Junqing praised again in his heart, he had a trace of worry: "However, in the situation, they are still the weak side after all. If there are no reinforcements in the city, when the enemy stands firm, it will inevitably cause great casualties to them!" But don't you know that Xu Jinghong still has a way to deal with it?"

Under the leadership of Xu Jinghong, the people of the fifth team went straight through the enemy array and killed the 100 "barians" and tore the original "barians" phalanx into two halves, making it impossible to correspond.

After killing, Xu Jinghong turned around again, and then took the bow in his hand and put on another arrow. Between letting go, the arrows have shot out like a meteor, and at the same time, he roared: "Kill!" Those 20 people also followed their team back and killed them again. Although many of them have suffered minor or serious injuries, their fighting spirit has not been slightly reduced. It seems that they are only facing a herd of pigs and sheep.

Seeing that the soldiers of the fifth team were so fearless, those "barians" were a little panicked. But at this time, they had no way out, so they had to kill them in a shout.

When the two people and horses were about to collide, Xu Jinghong shot another arrow. However, this arrow did not go to the enemy, but made a roar in the air, which was an arrow used to give orders!

While the arrows sounded, there was a sudden shout of killing in the woods on both sides of the road, and then soldiers came out from both sides and cut straight to the left and right wings of the "barbarians".

This change is really too sudden. Although there are not many people in the fifth team suddenly killed, but there are only about 20 people, their role is extremely critical. Because the "barians" did not think that there were ambushes here, the two wings were completely defenseless, and this time they were torn open by the ambush that was suddenly killed.

And this also led to another more surprising result. The "barians" who were still dominant in military strength began to collapse at this moment. Already a little timid, they began to retreat because of fear when they found that there were enemies on both sides. They dared not go straight to the edge of the fifth team and began to retreat.

Wang Junqing's shock at this time can no longer be described in words. It turned out that Xu Jinghong had made arrangements for a long time. He saw the weakness of the other party, gave the enemy a blow first with the skill of chiseling through, sent out the ambush when the enemy was already timid, and then attacked three sides to completely defeat their fighting spirit. In this way, although his strength is still not as good as his opponent's, he has greatly suppressed his opponent in terms of morale and momentum, so that he can achieve the first battle.

"This man is indeed a rare leader, and the soldiers of this fifth team are all elite!" At this moment, Wang Junqing has made up his mind to recruit Xu Jinghong and his people to his scout camp. He believes that with the addition of this group, the combat effectiveness of the scout camp will be further improved.

Under the three-sided attack, the "barbarian" has collapsed. They obviously forgot their current identity and turned around and were about to run to Dingxi City. At this time, it was learned that a guard outside had been driven out. They don't know that these "barians" are fake. They just think that the barbarians are so bold that they dare to attack the West with hundreds of people. So when I saw them rushing straight to the entrance of the west gate, the crossbows of the defenders over there had all moved.

Hundreds of sharp arrows suddenly shot down from the city, and more than a dozen "barians" who ran first fell to the ground one after another. Before they figured out the situation, the well-dressed soldiers shouted to kill them out. There was a team of 500 people watching at this west gate. Now when they see the barbarians coming to attack, they will naturally not let go of the goalkeeper, and they immediately launched an attack.

At this time, the "barians" found their current situation, and it was too late to explain. Because not only have the defenders in front of them launched a full attack on them, but the fifth team behind them has also killed them. Under the attack, these "barbarians" were defeated, and now they even lost their military advantages.

fell into a desperate situation. The instinct of survival made these soldiers pretending to be barbarians unable to care about anything else and shouted one after another: "We are the soldiers and horses of Yunzhou, the Song army's own people..." At this time, they had completely forgotten Ye Hao's previous instructions. Now they only want to save their lives. Naturally, the rest are not in the accounting.

This word came to the ears of the defenders, and they were also shocked. Are these people really Song troops, or are they barbarians pretending to be Song people to fake themselves? As soon as there was doubt in their hearts, the movements of their hands naturally eased down. However, the brothers of the fifth team behind them did not have that scruples and kept slashing forward, and the "barians" had lost the courage to resist, and suddenly 20 to 30 people were killed.

They didn't stop until the defenders shouted to stop. But in this way, there are less than 30 or 40 of these "barians" left, and each of them has been injured.

Looking at this grotesque scene, the garrison's garrison also showed a wry and helplessness: "What on earth is going on?" However, he still ordered, "Come on, tie them up!" Naturally, he refers to those "barians" who no longer have the fighting spirit. As for Xu Jinghong and others, after seeing their power, these defenders dare not touch this mold.

"Who are the generals? Come out and reply!" The guard asked the people of the fifth team after he tied up the "barians".

"It's me!" Xu Jinghong came out of the crowd. His body was splashed with blood, but it was all the enemy's. At this time, he looked at the previous plagiarism and looked very quiet.

"What the hell is going on?" The guard was even more unhappy when he saw that Xu Jinghong was just a team. He was so stubborn that he wanted to teach him a lesson.

Xu Jinghong arched his hand and said, "The fifth team of the eighth unit of Weixuanzi Camp in Yunzhou is Xu Jinghong, who was driven out of the city because he learned that someone had to collude with the barbarians and cooperated with the inside and outside. But I didn't expect the news to be true, so I fought with them. Presumably, all your people have seen clearly in the city just now!"

After hearing this, the defenders naturally nodded their heads. They watched these "barians" suddenly kill Xu Jinghong from behind. It's not wrong to see so many eyes. However, those "barians" who had been tied up became difficult to distinguish. At this time, they remembered the instructions of Lord Tong before that this matter could not be leaked out, but now it is obviously impossible for them.

"Who the hell are you?" The garrison officer began to look at the prisoners. In fact, he also saw that these people were not barbarians at all, but it was indeed difficult for him to accept the identity of these people as the Yunzhou army.

"We..." Those people are also very difficult. If they don't give an explanation, I'm afraid that today's matter will be difficult to end, but if they tell the truth, I'm afraid that the problem will be bigger, and even Ye Hao will be implicated. Ye Hao has now become their last savior. After these people looked at each other, they already had a unified opinion. No one said anything more, but said, "We are just ordered to act. You are not qualified to ask us!"

The guard's face is even worse. The team just dared to talk to himself like this has made him extremely angry, and now these people are also so presumptuous, which is really a great provocation to him. However, he still resisted and did not get angry, because he had not figured out who was behind the other party, so he naturally dared not really say it.

On the other side, Wang Junqing frowned. He was familiar with this guard. He was originally a general in Dingxi City and had some contact with him. But I didn't expect him to be so afraid of things. This is not a good omen. Originally, as Wang Junqing, if he came forward to say a few words, this matter would have been interrupted, but now he still wants to see Xu Jinghong's response, so he has to look at it coldly.

Xu Jinghong was moved when he saw this and wanted to say something. But suddenly, there was a warning in his heart, and it seemed that a strong murderous atmosphere was covering his body. His original desire to take a step forward and speak suddenly stopped. At the same time, his eyes had swept to the defenders in front of everyone with feeling. He could feel that this murderous spirit emanated from someone among these people.

At this time, most of everyone's attention was on those "barians", so no one noticed that someone's hand in the middle of the defenders was slowly lifting up. In his sleeve, there were two sleeve arrows. As long as the hand was raised to a certain height, it could be shot out from it at a distance of three feet. You can take anyone's life.

This sergeant hiding in the garrison is the second killer sent by the Shadow Killing Hall to assassinate Xu Jinghong, which belongs to the shadowless of the second-order dead. This shadowless ability is really good, but in a short time, he has disguised himself into the defenders of Dingxi, but because of his identity, he has never been given the opportunity to assassinate Xu Jinghong.

However, the time limit for Ying Killingtang's promise to the employer is approaching, and the brand of Ying Killing Hall cannot be lost. Therefore, Wuying has made up his mind to take the night to kill Xu Jinghong in these days. Unexpectedly, before he did it, the opportunity came to the door by himself. After hearing that this guy who was fighting with people outside the west gate was actually the target, the shadowless killing rose uncontrollably, which also filled his hidden murderous atmosphere.

However, Wuying did not worry that this would alert the target. In his mind, his ability was enough to kill him before the other party did anything, and he still had the bloody sleeve arrow on his body. As for what to do after suddenly taking action, Wuying doesn't care about it. He is still very confident in himself and will definitely get out of the chaos after killing Xu Jinghong! After these judgments, Wuying no longer hesitated and immediately raised his arms——

"Wo!" Almost at the same time, the sleeve arrow that had been hidden close to the shadowless arms shot out like electricity and went straight to Xu Jinghong's face and heart. Together with this change, the soldiers present were stunned, because they were still entangled with the truth of the matter at this time. No one would have thought that anyone in the garrison would attack Xu Jinghong!

No, not everyone didn't think of this. At least one person was on guard, and this person was the shadowless target Xu Jinghong himself. At the moment when the two sleeve arrows appeared, Xu Jinghong suddenly fell down, as if a piece of wood had been cut down. However, his feet were still tightly nailed to the ground, and only his upper body fell. And this time, it just avoided the sudden assassination.

In everyone's shocked eyes, Xu Jinghong's long knife with blood on his hand had been slashed out. Although others are still in the action of the iron plate bridge, the movements in their hands are still accurate and fast, and the knife is cut without shadow.

At this time, Wuying didn't expect it. It was a little late for him to dodge. Xu Jinghong's knife passed his shoulder, and a trace of blood light burst out of his body. In addition to surprise, Shadowless judgment is still there. It is difficult to know that you are among the crowd and want to kill Xu Jinghong again. Now the most important thing to do is to save your life! So there was almost no pause. After being stabbed, he immediately went to the side. He believes in his ability. Once there are two ups and downs, it is impossible for them to stop him again.

Although the assassination failed, as long as people are still alive, there is still a chance! Wuying is convinced that he still has a chance, as long as he can escape. But just as he rushed forward, there was a buzz of bowstrings behind him, and he hurried to change his direction to avoid the arrows. I only felt a pain in his left leg, and his whole body had lost its balance.

Without waiting for Wuying to figure out, the second and third arrows also followed, one hitting his right leg, while the other hit his right shoulder without injury. His limbs have been damaged, and no matter how good he is, he can't walk.

It was not until this time that Xu Jinghong put down the hard bow in his hand and then turned his eyes to the guard: "What's going on?"
