Eternal Immortal Dynasty: Starting as a Petty Official

Chapter 188 Slaying the Bandit Chief Again, Counterattacking the Bandit Cavalry (Seeking Monthly Tickets)

With Chen Yuanqing's help, Zhang Gong immediately ordered the elite archers to be divided into two teams.

One team rests while the other fires rapidly, alternating back and forth to ensure that the archers under their command can exert their full power!

Meanwhile, Zhao Zheng, Zhao Cheng, Zhao Ji, and others also faced their respective opponents.

All of them were wearing iron armor, and the fiercest bandits among them naturally recognized their identities at a glance, knowing that these people must be important military officers, and immediately rushed towards them!

"boom!"

The clash of swords and axes sent sparks flying and produced a deafening roar!

The two figures clad in iron armor retreated several steps, each revealing a hint of apprehension.

"kill!"

With a furious roar, Zhao Ji pushed off with his feet, sending dirt flying everywhere, and charged straight at his opponent like an arrow released from a bow!

"Ding ding ding!"

The sounds of collisions rang out one after another, as dense as rain pattering on banana leaves!

In an instant, the blade's aura was chilling, and the snow-white blade light swept down, transforming into an impenetrable silver light curtain around Zhao Ji!

The burly man opposite him was half a foot taller than Zhao Ji, and he wielded a mountain-splitting axe the size of a door panel with great force!

Wherever the two went, destruction followed!

Seeing how powerful the two men were, the soldiers around them kept their distance, fearing that they might accidentally get caught up in it and be beheaded!

On the other side, with the help of several veteran soldiers, Zhao Cheng and Zhao Zheng barely managed to hold off a lightly armed swordsman wearing only half armor!

The swordsman's moves were fierce and his movements were agile, far surpassing those of Zhao Cheng and Zhao Zheng, who were clad in iron armor!

Every now and then, a flash of sword light would appear, and a little blood would spurt out from the two of them!

On the other side, Song Ming had also changed into a warrior's robe early on and was fighting with a scholar in a blue robe, sword in hand.

As for Zhou Yan and the other officials of Ronghuai County, they also brandished their ring-pommel swords and fought fiercely, their bravery no less than that of Zhao Zheng, Zhao Ji and the others!

Clearly, these officials from Ronghuai were no incompetent fools!

"Bang!"

Another loud bang rang out, and Zhao Ji spat out blood, his face turned deathly pale, and he was thrown backward.

Meanwhile, the burly man opposite him, relying on his superior cultivation level compared to Zhao Ji, suppressed the metallic taste in his throat, exerted force with his feet, and pounced towards Zhao Ji!

In the blink of an eye, a sharp arrow whistled through the air!

"Whoosh!"

With a flash of cold light, the arrow pierced the burly man's chest, and a single blossom of blood exploded in mid-air!

On the earthen platform in the distance, Zhao Xian wiped the sweat from his forehead, his chest heaving several times.

"Pfft!"

The blood that was already in his throat could no longer be suppressed. The burly man swayed and spat out a mouthful of blood.

A few drops of blood even splattered onto Zhao Ji on the other side!

"Kuro! Excellent archery!"

Seeing Zhao Xian pierce through the armor with an arrow, Zhao Ji was overjoyed and immediately stood up and let out a long roar!

"kill!"

Just then, a faint blue light enveloped Zhao Ji. Feeling his strength rapidly recovering, Zhao Ji didn't have time to thank him before drawing his sword and charging forward again!

"kill!"

The burly man roared and snapped the arrow shaft in his chest, lunging towards Zhao Ji!

In the blink of an eye, the two were locked in a fierce battle!

Meanwhile, dozens of riders stood side by side on the official road.

Seeing that his hundreds of soldiers had all gone into battle but still hadn't managed to break through the camp gate, the leader of Flying Dragon Mountain's face was ashen!

"Boss, should I take the brothers and charge in?"

Seeing the leader's unfriendly expression, one of his close bandits stepped forward and asked in a low voice.

"The enemy's forces are currently at their strongest; let's wait and see!"

Upon hearing this, the chieftain's expression immediately returned to normal, and he spoke calmly.

The hundreds of bandits fighting nearby were merely expendable resources in the eyes of this chieftain, far less valuable than the cavalrymen behind him.

After all, although Feilong Mountain is steep and rugged, it is also extremely barren.

The bandits of Feilong Mountain, who have been entrenched here, have been in rebellion for more than a year. They have hundreds of bandits under their command, but apart from a few leaders, there are only a few dozen cavalrymen in front of them who are skilled in horsemanship.

The chief of Flying Dragon Mountain racked his brains to gather enough warhorses for these dozens of men!

Natural resources should not be wasted on arduous battles!

"Pfft!"

A flash of cold light, and a pillar of blood shot into the sky, reaching a height of over two zhang!

The huge head fell to the ground and rolled several times!

"Bang!"

A mountain-splitting axe slipped from his palm, crashed to the ground, and left a deep axe mark!

"The bandit leader is dead! Surrender immediately!"

But then Zhao Ji held a long spear, held it high with the severed head in his hand, and roared loudly, ignoring the hot blood that was dripping down!

Upon seeing this scene, the thugs who had intended to come forward to help were also filled with fear and gradually stopped in their tracks!

"The bandit leader is dead! Surrender immediately!"

Meanwhile, Zhao Zheng, Zhao Cheng, and the soldiers around them shouted loudly from afar!

The crowd shouted in unison, their voices resounding throughout the land!

The fierce bandits charging ahead, upon seeing the death of their renowned second leader, were filled with panic and considered retreating!

"kill!"

At this moment, Zhao Chengli shouted and charged straight at the lightly armed swordsman opposite him with his ring-pommel sword.

With a flash of sword light, the blade, like a venomous snake's tongue, aimed straight for Zhao Cheng's throat!

Zhao Cheng neither dodged nor avoided the attack. Just at this critical moment, a ring-pommel sword came whistling through the air!

Feeling the strong wind behind him, the swordsman's expression changed drastically. He immediately swayed and tried to dodge the sharp blade coming from behind!

"Pfft!"

The sharp blade sliced ​​through the air and slammed into a ruthless bandit, the immense force pinning the bandit to the ground!

"kill!"

With a flash of light, Zhao Cheng attacked again. The swordsman swung his sword backhand and pierced Zhao Cheng's arm. Before Zhao Cheng could pull out his sword, a ring-pommel saber had already pierced through his chest!

"die!"

Zhao Zheng was quick-witted and swift-handed, beheading the lightly armed swordsman with a single stroke!

"The bandit leader is dead! Surrender immediately!"

Before the head could even roll to the ground, Zhao Zheng grabbed it and roared.

With the bandit leaders dying one after another, and archers like Zhao Xian and Zhang Gong constantly sniping at them, the bandits finally couldn't suppress their fear and turned to flee!

On the official road, the chieftain's expression changed drastically upon seeing this scene. He immediately looked around and shouted, "Charge with me!"

"not good!"

Upon seeing this, Zhao Xian's expression changed drastically. He abandoned his war bow, picked up his ring-pommel sword, and ran wildly towards the camp gate!

"Don't pursue a cornered enemy! Return to camp immediately!"

Seeing that some soldiers were bloodthirsty and chasing after the fleeing bandits, Zhao Zheng and the others immediately roared loudly.

Unfortunately, the results were minimal!

The sound of horses' hooves, like a thunderclap, finally woke the soldiers!

Upon hearing Zhao Zheng and the others' shouts, he turned and ran towards the camp gate!

In the blink of an eye, the camp gate was completely blocked by soldiers!

Meanwhile, the fleeing bandits also ran headlong into the charging cavalry!

When cavalry charge, the most important thing is to strike with full force in one go!

Even if the people in front of you are your comrades-in-arms whom you have been with day and night, you cannot tighten the reins or slow down the horse; you can only run them over!

What's more, what about this group of bandits in front of us!

What sense of morality exists between thieves and bandits!

"Big Boss, no!"

Some bandits raised their arms and shouted wildly, but in the blink of an eye they were swallowed up by the charging cavalry!

These cavalrymen showed no mercy, brandishing their spears and leaving devastation in their wake!

However, the cavalry's offensive was greatly hampered by the fleeing bandits.

On the other side, in just a few dozen steps, they arrived in an instant.

With the camp gate blocked, Zhao Xian used his lightness technique to leap out of the camp and then jump several more steps to reach Zhao Zheng and the others.

"Shields! Spears! Form ranks!"

Looking around, Zhao Xian roared angrily!

In the blink of an eye, many veterans, including Xu Hua, Xu Fu, and Zhao Zong, finally reacted, picked up the iron and wooden shields on the ground, and gathered in front of Zhao Xian!

"Whoosh!"

With a flash of light in his hand, a fireball flew towards the cavalrymen in front!

Immediately afterwards, three more fireballs followed!

"Boom! Boom! Boom!"

Several loud explosions followed, and flames shot into the sky!

The cavalrymen at the forefront of the charge were instantly blown off their feet and fell to the ground, howling in pain!

"Long spear!"

Zhao Xian shouted again, and Zhao Zheng, along with several close veterans, also planted their spears in the ground, the spearheads protruding through the gaps in their shields!

"Wiregrass!"

Just then, Song Ming appeared behind Zhao Zheng and the others. With a casual wave of his hand, more than ten dark green spirit seeds landed several feet away. They then quickly took root and sprouted, transforming into a three-foot-long, lush iron wire vine wall!

"Snap! Snap!"

Immediately afterwards, a series of loud explosions rang out as several huge bodies slammed into the vine wall, shattering it to pieces, while they themselves fell to the ground!

Before the cavalrymen could get up, a golden light flashed across their necks!

In an instant, the men clutched their necks and collapsed to the ground again!

Seeing this, Zhao Xian also leaped out of the shield wall, picked up a long spear from the ground, and in a few steps, he arrived in front of an empty mount and jumped on it in a few quick movements!

They turned their horses around and charged back towards the opposite side!

"kill!"

A flash of crimson light, and a fireball flew straight out!

Upon seeing this, the cavalrymen opposite him changed their expressions drastically!

It was too late to escape!

With a deafening explosion and bursts of fire, a figure burst out from the flames, heading straight for the leader on the other side!

Without needing to say a word, the two exchanged a single glance and knew that the person opposite them must be the one they were looking for!

"kill!"

With a sharp shout, two cavalrymen charged towards Zhao Xian!

Two long spears shot out like lightning, one from the left and one from the right, one aimed at the man and the other at the horse!

As the three drew closer, Zhao Xian could clearly see the sinister smiles on the faces of the cavalrymen opposite him!

Suddenly, a streak of crimson light shot out from in front of Zhao Xian. At such a short distance, the cavalryman opposite him couldn't react at all!

"Pfft!"

A bloody hole the size of a thumb appeared on the forehead of the opposing cavalryman!

"Snap!"

With a crisp sound, Zhao Xian's spear broke the spear thrust by the opposing cavalryman, and then the spearhead pierced the cavalryman's chest!

"die!"

As the three figures intersected, a glint of cold light caught Zhao Xian's eye!

"Perfect timing!"

Zhao Xian couldn't help but secretly praise him in his heart!

"Clang!"

At the critical moment, Zhao Xian suddenly drew his sword and stood in front of him!

"Bang!"

A loud bang was followed by an immense force!

The immense force caused Zhao Xian's face to turn pale, his arm to go numb and ache, and his hand to throb with excruciating pain!

Clang!

The ring-pommel sword flew out of his hand!

"Rip!"

The spear grazed past Zhao Xian's arm!

It left a stinging, bloody mark!

At the same time, the remaining cavalrymen also bypassed Zhao Xian and crashed hard into the shield wall in front of them!

"Snap! Snap!"

In an instant, splinters of wood flew everywhere, people and horses fell over, and cries of pain and screams rose and fell!

"Boom! Boom! Boom!"

Several more fireballs struck the cavalrymen, and their cries of agony grew louder and louder!

Just then, Zhang Gong, leading his well-organized troops and wielding his spear, rushed out of the camp gate again to meet Zhao Zheng and the others!

After being repeatedly blocked, the charging cavalry finally stopped and lost their momentum, thus falling into the encirclement of Zhang Gong and his men!

Seven or eight spears thrust forward simultaneously, knocking a cavalryman off his horse.

"kill!"

Meanwhile, Zhao Xian clashed with the leader of Flying Dragon Mountain once again!

The spear in his hand could not withstand the enormous force of the collision and shattered instantly!

Although he no longer had the ring-pommel sword in his hand, he still had the low-grade magic weapon flying sword that he had already refined.

With a slight thought, Zhao Xian's flying sword transformed into a three-foot-long blade, its cold light gleaming!

A flash of cold light, and the two men, each wielding a sword, clashed in a fierce battle!

"Big Boss!"

"Hurry! If we don't leave now, all the brothers will perish here!"

Suddenly a mounted soldier galloped up, shouting loudly!

"What?!"

The leader finally showed a look of shock. He looked back and saw that most of the cavalrymen had fallen to the ground, their fates unknown, while the remaining cavalrymen were also surrounded by soldiers!

"withdraw!"

A flash of anger crossed his face, but the leader suppressed his rage and shouted sharply.

Upon hearing this, the remaining cavalrymen turned their horses around and broke through to the outer perimeter!

"Do not intercept!"

Zhao Xian shouted and then pulled on the reins, but only watched the scene unfold without making a move to stop it!

Upon hearing the shout, the soldiers under his command quickly moved aside, letting the cavalrymen leave!

"The bandit leader has fled; those who surrender will not be killed!"

"The bandit leader has fled; those who surrender will not be killed!"

Seeing the cavalrymen disappear into the distance, Zhao Zheng and several veterans mounted their horses and galloped off toward the official road, shouting loudly.

The bandits who had narrowly escaped death saw their leader and more than ten cavalrymen drive away into the distance. Knowing that they were too exhausted to catch up with the horses, they had no choice but to put down their weapons and kneel on the ground to beg for their lives!

Meanwhile, on the wall of a country house a hundred feet away from the camp, several figures looked at the camp that stood firm with fear on their faces!

"Hurry! Quickly deliver the money and grain that Lord Zhao demanded!"

Suddenly, Sun Mao, the village head of Dongzhu Township, looked at Li Jin, the village assistant beside him, and roared loudly!

"Find a few more physicians, bring some miraculous medicines, and hurry to Zhao Jun's camp to provide support!"

Seeing that Li Jin did not move, Sun Mao shouted again!

"Such elite soldiers!"

"He actually has such elite soldiers!"

The village official muttered to himself, then quickly came to his senses and immediately replied loudly, "This humble official will take care of it immediately!"

Having said that, he turned around and took a step forward!

"Bang!"

But then, village official Li stumbled and fell straight down against the courtyard wall!

In his shock, he completely forgot that he had just been watching the battle from the wall!
