Chapter 1159 Killing the Thief

Chang Zhengcheng did not know at first that Niu Chenghu had fallen from his horse. He rode his horse in front, using his flesh and blood to clear the way for his soldiers. There were already more than ten crossbow arrows hanging on his body, and the bright red spots were almost connected into one, but he was completely unaware.

The sergeant Zhao Xingguang saw with his own eyes that the fool Niu Chenghu ran away to save him, but he was weak and frail due to excessive blood loss from his injuries. Although he wanted to help Niu Chenghu, he was powerless and could only watch him roll off the official road.

Only after running nearly a hundred steps and temporarily escaping from the encirclement of the bandits did they slowly stop. Chang Zhengcheng just took a quick glance, and because he saw that the four horses were intact, he did not care that Zhao Xingguang was now riding alone.

"Changtou, the big... the fool fell off his horse!"

Chang Zhengcheng was stunned when he heard the voice. It was only then that he noticed the changes on Zhao Xingguang's mount. His expression became serious and he immediately ordered, "Quick, reload the pistol."

The four of them were all anxious, but after all, they were all injured. Any larger movement would affect the wound. At this moment, the speed of loading ammunition could not be increased at all, only half of the usual speed. This was also due to their well-trained skills.

Even the mounts under their crotch seemed to feel the knights' anxiety. Their front hooves kept digging into the hard ground and neighing continuously.

Especially the warhorse that Zhao Xingguang was riding. It seemed to be worried about the safety of its master and was the most restless. It seemed as if it was about to get up and gallop back to save its master.

War horses are spiritual. After all, they accompany their masters day and night. They have to get up early every morning to be fed grass to prevent them from losing weight. They also have to be bathed regularly and carefully cared for and accompanied every day. Over time, they will naturally develop feelings for their masters. The unity of man and horse is the highest realm of cavalry.

“Tap…tap tap…”

A rapid and close sound of hooves came from behind Chang Zhengcheng and the others. Zhou Xiaoshan looked back and said hastily, "Sergeant Xing...it's Sergeant Xing and the others..."

"Changtou, we have to save Dahanzi!"

Chang Zhengcheng glanced at Zhao Xingguang, who looked anxious, and said in a deep voice, "Well. After we meet up with Xiao Xing and the other two, we'll rush back. I guess Zhongwang and the others will have come up by then. Let alone saving Da Hanzi, even defeating these bastards won't be a problem."

Soon, Xing Jinyin and his men came to Chang Zhengcheng's side and said, "Captain Chang, the thief disguised himself as a refugee. We were careless and put you in danger. You deserve to die."

Chang Zhengcheng glared at him and said calmly, "Being on patrol is different from marching. Danger can occur at any time. We cannot be careless at all times. We must be alert at all times. Not to mention a group of villagers, even a child cannot be ignored."

"Here!"

"Okay, Niu Chenghu is trapped in the enemy's formation, we have to fight back to rescue him. Although the four of us can still kill the enemy, the task of leading the charge is still left to you three. Consider it a meritorious service to redeem yourself."

"Here."

After Xing Jinyin responded to the order loudly, he shouted, "I'll be in the lead, He Cheng and Lei Yu will be in the second row. Form a formation and charge!" As he said this, he spurred his horse to the front. He Cheng and Lei Yu did not waste any time, they squeezed their legs hard and controlled their horses to follow behind him, rushing towards the bandits who were less than a hundred steps away.

"Brothers, kill the thieves...kill the thieves!"

Chang Zhengcheng also roared and rode his horse forward. Each of them controlled the horse with his legs, freeing up his hands to hold a short gun each. Only Zhao Xingguang held a fire starter in his right hand and a small bomb in his left hand, while he bit the wooden handle of a short gun in his mouth so that he could pick it up and kill the bandits after throwing the small bomb. It was precisely because his mouth was occupied by the pistol that he was the only one who rode his horse forward silently.

…………

Just when Chang Zhengcheng had assembled and launched the charge, the gang of thieves who had surrounded and beaten up the fool Niu Chenghu had already lost their formation...

  Don't be fooled by Dahanzi's broad shoulders and thick waist. He just looks big and strong, but he is not really stupid. If he were a fool, he would have died on the battlefield long ago. How could he be alive today?

When he fell off his horse and was surrounded by bandits, although he was in danger, he was clear-headed. He knew that no matter how powerful he was, he could not kill these bandits by himself, and there were so many enemies that once they got entangled, he would be exhausted to death.

That's why he took the initiative to attack, in order to seize the initiative...

After he killed the thief with one shot, he immediately turned around and smashed the spear in his hand around. The sudden and fierce attack threw the thieves on the left into chaos. They had never expected that Niu Chenghu was already a tiger in a cage, but could still fight so bravely!

However, there were nearly a hundred thieves, and they had surrounded the place in numerous layers. Even if Niu Chenghu was brave and skilled in fighting, how could he easily break through and escape?

There were two children about fifteen or sixteen years old, one holding a sword and shield, the other holding a pair of iron-bone swords. They took advantage of the moment when Niu Chenghu was concentrating on swinging his gun, and they rolled over on the official road a few times and came in front of Niu Chenghu.

One child soldier protected himself with a shield and aimed the steel knife in his hand at Niu Chenghu's feet and chopped them hard. The other child soldier swung his two iron swords from both sides towards the middle, wrapping Niu Chenghu in the attack range, blocking his retreat route and making it impossible for him to escape!

From this we can see that these child soldiers who broke into the camp not only have outstanding fighting skills, but also have tacit cooperation and are extremely ruthless. As soon as I made a move, I completely blocked Niu Chenghu's retreat, leaving him with no way to retreat or hide, which shows how ruthless he is.

However, Niu Chenghu was a man who had been tempered on the battlefield in Liaodong after all. Even the brutal Tartar soldiers could not keep him in Liaodong. Although these child soldiers in front of him were also very brutal, they probably did not have this ability!

"kill……"

Niu Chenghu suddenly shouted loudly in the critical moment, and he thrust the tiger spear in his hand into the open ground with all his strength, and used the force to leap to the left front, barely avoiding the attack of the two child soldiers.

But before Niu Chenghu landed on the ground, he saw a bright axe flash with cold light, chopping straight at his hands holding the gun. Niu Chenghu had no time to think about it, and quickly let go of his hands and gave up his tiger gun. Even his body lost support at this moment, and fell diagonally among the thieves.

Niu Chenghu didn't dare to stop for a moment. He also lowered his body, and used the momentum of falling to roll into the group of bandits in front. After rolling twice, he suddenly jumped up again, and taking advantage of the chaos among the bandits, he suddenly knocked down a bandit soldier next to him, snatched the steel knife from his hand, roared and chopped down two bandits.

Faced with this sudden change, the bandits were frightened and retreated one after another. Niu Chenghu knew that if he let them retreat, he would be surrounded again. In addition, he had lost the length advantage of the tiger spear, and it was impossible for him to resist the siege of the bandits with only a steel knife.
