Wei Ling's expression changed slightly, "Oh no! Deputy General Shi and his men have been ambushed!"
The Ten Directions Sect clearly came prepared.
They are lying in ambush here, so they must have detected their whereabouts in advance.
“Retreat!”
"Retreat quickly, there is an ambush nearby!"
The scout shouted loudly!
The rumbling sound in the distance came faintly again.
The scout cracked his whip and rode away on horseback, hurrying back to report and request support.
The soldiers guarding the food and supplies drew their weapons and stared vigilantly in the direction of the sound.
Because they were still some distance away, they could not see anything and could only hear the huge roar caused by the explosion.
Wei Ling's eyes were stern.
The scouts told us to retreat, but how?!
There were only two hundred soldiers left in the rear to guard the food and equipment, so it was impossible for them to abandon the supply trucks.
Wei Ling grabbed his cousin, who was rubbing his hands in anticipation, gritted his teeth and shouted, "Push the supply truck and evacuate this place first!"
Dust flew up and the heavy baggage cart turned around quickly.
At the corner of the side path, a team of a thousand people suddenly appeared, holding homemade weapons and rushing towards them while shouting!
“Kill!”
"Kill them! The food and weapons will be ours!"
During the dry season, no grass grows, making it extremely difficult to ambush nearby.
Those people rushed towards them from the narrow path, still some distance away from them.
"Cousin, it's the enemy!" Wei Lang's eyes sparkled and his face looked excited.
Wei Ling didn't know what he was so excited about, but he didn't have time to think about it. He immediately shouted, "Form a formation! Archers and crossbows, get ready!"
They were few in number, but the supply truck was right next to them.
The car was fully equipped with explosives and arrows.
The rows of crossbow carts behind him moved quickly. The soldiers turned the supply carts to face the enemy, and the crossbow carts were neatly placed in front, loaded with arrows, ready for battle.
"Shoot!"
The sound of breaking air was heard instantly.
The arrows, accompanied by strong winds, flew towards the enemy who was getting closer and closer.
Unexpectedly, the other side seemed to be well prepared. The people in the front retreated quickly, and the believers in the back row raised the round shield woven with vines and stepped forward to resist the attack.
The attacks of the front-row archers were almost all blocked.
But the giant crossbow was so powerful that one arrow could penetrate the enemy's round shield. The believers holding shields in the front fell one after another, and others immediately raised shields to take their place in the back.
It takes time for the crossbow to fire once, and the distance between the two sides is gradually narrowing.
There are hundreds of supply trucks here and we cannot retreat without any care.
If we really lost this batch of equipment and food, how would we explain it?
Wei Ling decided to hold on, gritting his teeth and signaling, "Shoot the little black balls and teach them a lesson!"
Unexpectedly, the thrower was just revealed.
The people in front shouted: "Scatter! Scatter quickly!"
The man paused, staring at the small black ball equipped on the thrower, his eyes burning with a hint of madness.
He led his followers to come here on a detour, and just now, he saw the appearance of a powerful unknown weapon for the first time. Thinking of the powerful scene he just saw, he was extremely excited.
If he could seize this batch of supplies, the leader would definitely promote him to a Taoist priest.
"If you want to die, disperse immediately!"
"spread!"
The order was passed on.
The believers who were crowded together on the path immediately dispersed, scattered sparsely in the fields, and rushed towards them fearlessly.
As long as they kill this group of people, they will have food and weapons!
Wei Ling's heart sank. It seemed that Deputy General Shi had used explosives to let them see the power of explosives, and these people had taken precautions.
The official road leads to all directions and there is no place to hide.
The enemy was scattered, so the crossbow cart had to adjust its direction and choose to fire in the direction where there were more people.
The distance between the two sides is getting closer.
Wei Lang drew his spear, eager to try and get ready for battle.
Wei Ling drew his weapon.
We can only fight, we can't retreat!
There was another army transporting food and fodder in the rear, which set out only one day later than them. They were holding out until Lieutenant General Shi returned, or waited for the scouts to send back news that support from the rear had arrived.
With a determined look on his face, he shouted, "Fight to the death! Kill them!"
As soon as the words fell.
Wei Lang bravely took the lead, and like a loaded bow, he rushed towards the nearest wave of people.
Only a brave back figure was left for Wei Ling who stayed where he was.
Liu Cao was startled and ordered his personal guards behind him, "Protect the centurion!"
Seeing Wei Lang rushing towards them, the believers holding round shields still stood in front.
Unexpectedly, he swept his gun across quickly, and with great force, he knocked down the front row of shield soldiers, and stabbed them in the head one by one.
Blood splattered everywhere.
In the blink of an eye, a large number of people on the opposite side were killed or injured.
Liu Acao noticed that the opposite side was shooting hidden arrows, so he rushed forward and just managed to knock the flying arrow down with his spear, and was so frightened that he broke out in a cold sweat.
"Raise your shield to defend!"
Where does the shield come from? Of course it’s for the enemy.
Erlangjun left no one alive after his attack, and then he fired another shot with the force of a tidal wave, sweeping across. The shield soldiers in the front row lost their balance and fell to the ground. Seeing this, Liu Acao stepped forward to shoot them again and snatched their shields.
Wei Ling on the other side has led his troops to fight with the enemy on the other side.
Because of the little black ball, the believers did not dare to gather together and were scattered far apart, revealing fatal flaws, which gave them the opportunity to defeat them one by one.
The supply carts were pushed to the edge of the official road, and a defense line was built on three sides. The direction where no one was fighting was supported by giant crossbow carts and archers.
A team of only two hundred people actually resisted the attack of more than a thousand enemies!
Seeing that the siege had been going on for a long time and the believers had suffered heavy casualties, the leader of the opposing group was furious. In a moment of desperation, he shouted loudly, "Assemble! Split up and assemble!"
