Hou Zongmin did not expect Zhao Muyun to be so skilled, and the punches and kicks he used were so strange and bizarre that they were beyond Hou Zongmin's imagination.
For example, Hou Zongmin usually only used the brutal method of kicking down the yin to save his life when he was in danger.
But Zhao Muyun attacked him ten times, and at least five times he hit his weak spots such as crotch, ribs, and inner calves.
He never thought that Zhao Muyun, who was a general after all, would use such cruel means.
But it must be said that every time Hou Zongming broke out in a cold sweat and was busy dealing with it.
I was almost hit several times.
In addition, Zhao Muyun held a triangular spear in his hand, so Hou Zongmin seemed to be fighting on equal terms with Zhao Muyun, but in fact, he was in danger all around.
at this time!
Hou Zongmin's men finally rode their horses into their shooting range. By the time they were able to pick up their bows and arrows to fight back, they had suffered more than ten casualties.
Tang Yanhai's men armed with crossbows gained attack range.
It’s true that every inch longer is an inch stronger!
The same is true on the battlefield. The longer the range of your bow and arrow, the more say you have.
When Hou Zongmin's men were able to draw their bows and shoot arrows, Tang Yanhai's scout battalion's crossbows made bursts of crisp bowstring sounds and shot towards the rebels rushing forward.
Although the repeating crossbow is not as powerful as the compound bow, it is stronger in its continuous attack capability.
Suddenly, three rebel knights were hit by several arrows and fell off their horses with screams.
They dodged left and right in a hurry.
After Zhang Hong loudly reminded Hou Zongming and the two sides started fighting, he hid aside and tried to find a way to get rid of his shackles.
But how could the iron shackles be removed so easily?
He could only run backwards and escape from the center of the fierce battle.
But the knights on both sides charged at each other, and arrows flew back and forth, leaving him with nowhere to go, so he had to run to the side of the hillside.
boom!
At this moment, there was a commotion in the woods on the hillside, shouts and screams arose, and people came out one after another.
Zhang Hong's eyes lit up and excitement was written all over his face.
It turned out that Hou Zongmin had already ambushed people nearby just in case.
People swarmed over, and Tang Yanhai shouted to Zhao Muyun, "Boss Zhao, the pillar is safe, retreat!"
Zhao Muyun, who was fighting fiercely with Hou Zongming, did not only focus on the one-on-one fight between him and Hou Zongming.
The situation on the entire beach is also clear at a glance.
If the people ambushed by Hou Zongmin had appeared one stick of incense later, Zhao Muyun, Tang Yanhai and others would have come and had a chance to kill Hou Zongmin.
Unfortunately, Hou Zongmin's ambushers appeared at this time.
Zhao Muyun decisively gave up the attack.
It’s not too late to take Hou Zongmin’s head later, but we can’t let ourselves be implicated as well.
Zhao Muyun suddenly thrust hard, forcing Hou Zongmin back several steps, then turned and left.
Hou Zongming was stunned for a moment and was about to chase, but then he remembered that he was unarmed and stopped abruptly.
However, even if he tried to catch up, he couldn't.
Tang Yanhai's men aimed their crossbows at him and shot arrows one after another. Hou Zongmin dodged again and again.
Zhao Muyun quickly mounted the warhorse that Tang Yanhai was leading over, and everyone immediately turned their horses around and retreated.
Hou Zongmin's cavalry wanted to pursue, but were forced back by arrows and could not move forward.
Tang Yanhai and others left like a gust of wind, leaving behind even the three thousand kilograms of fine salt.
When those who came out of the woods and Hou Zongmin's guards all rushed to Hou Zongmin's side, a man with a pointed chin and monkey cheeks stepped forward:
"Brother, why don't you let us chase him?"
"Second brother, didn't I tell you to wait for my signal before rushing out?" Hou Zongmin didn't look kindly at the second brother. "You came out too early and scared them all away!"
It turns out that when Hou Zongmin was a bandit, he liked to rob other bandits.
Even without Zhang Hong's shout, he would have taken action depending on the situation.
However, he planned to let his guards fight with the people brought by Zhao Muyun, and then let the second man in ambush appear depending on the situation.
Now, Zhao Muyun and others were not able to entangle the second brother and were scared away by him.
Hou Zongmin was amazed at Zhao Muyun's sharp skills, but he was even more regretful that he had missed the opportunity to surround and kill Zhao Muyun in the tiger's mouth.
"Second brother is worried that eldest brother will suffer a loss!" Zhang Hong hurried out to smooth things over.
The second brother didn't seem to appreciate Zhang Hong's kindness: "Third brother, if it weren't for saving you, my eldest brother and I wouldn't have come here in person. How can we not be happy in Xiazhou, drinking, eating meat and listening to music?"
In the past, Zhang Hong would have had an attack long ago.
But now he had been captured and imprisoned in the government jail for several months, and his close associates had either left or died, so he had long lost his confidence.
Faced with the powerful second brother, he could only hold it in.
"Second brother, what are you talking about? We are sworn brothers, sharing life and death. Now that we can rescue the third brother, it is a good thing. Let's not blame each other."
Hou Zongming knew that his second son had a strange temper and spoke in a sarcastic way, and he didn't get along well with the third son.
Seeing that he was still making such sarcastic remarks at this time, he angrily scolded the second brother.
The second brother pouted and said nothing more.
"Okay, although we failed to catch Zhao Muyun, the third brother is back safely after all!" Hou Zongming nodded.
"Brother, didn't they also bring 3,000 kilograms of fine salt? Let's take them away."
The second brother was very excited and immediately asked his men to check the fine salt left by Zhao Muyun and others.
In Xiazhou, people have always eaten coarse salt.
Ever since the appearance of fine salt in Yinzhou, the rebels in Xiazhou suddenly felt that coarse salt was no longer attractive.
However, although they occupied Xiazhou, the fine salt of Yinzhou did not spoil them.
