Let’s see how Zhao Lin ends up then.
They are members of the Xiong family, not rebel bandits.
But Xiong Hongyi's ideal is beautiful, but the reality is cruel.
As his men rushed forward, they heard a series of whooshing sounds, followed by the screams of his men.
"Bow and crossbow!"
Xiong Hongyi felt a chill in his heart.
Judging from the situation, there are at least a hundred archers and crossbowmen, and we only have more than twenty people on our side. How can we stop them?
"Retreat! Retreat! Retreat back to the room!"
Xiong Hongyi quickly gave the order.
However, after one round of volleys, these people were basically all lying down, and only a few who retreated back to the room in time survived.
But Xiong Hongyi's heart sank when he took one look.
There were only five people left, including himself.
"Zhao Lin, we are from the Xiong family in Shuozhou. If you seek revenge for your personal gain, the officials in the court will never let you go."
Xiong Hongyi shouted loudly, hoping to make Zhao Lin hesitate.
Chen Qifeng glanced at Zhao Lin and saw that he was calm and showed no reaction. He ordered, "Release again!"
Whoosh whoosh!
This time it's a bow and arrow.
Strong bows and hard crossbows. The advantage of crossbows over bows and arrows is that they are faster, but not as strong as bows and arrows.
This time, bows and arrows were fired simultaneously, leaving dozens of holes on the windows and doors in an instant.
Xiong Hongyi heard a muffled groan in his ears. His two subordinates were unable to dodge and were hit by the arrows that penetrated them. Although they were not dead, they could not move.
"Zhao Lin! If you dare to kill me, my Xiong family will never let you go!" Xiong Hongyi shouted. "My Xiong family is a powerful family in the northwest. We have long controlled the border troops. Even the elders are afraid of us. If you offend us, there will be no way for you to survive in this vast world. But if you let me go, there is still room for negotiation."
Zhao Lin finally spoke: "Didn't I kill two of them? Why are you still talking about these idiots? You won't come out, right? Set fire to them and burn them to death."
Chen Qifeng immediately ordered a fire attack.
As the rockets came shooting towards him, Xiong Hongyi finally despaired.
He said those words to see if he could trick Zhao Lin into letting them go. If he could escape alive, he would immediately write a letter to his family, asking them to send more people to kill Zhao Lin.
Secondly, if he fails to deceive Zhao Lin, it would be fine to get in front of him, so that Xiong Hongzhe can take Zhao Lin hostage.
Xiong Hongyi believed that as long as Zhao Lin dared to come in front of them, Xiong Hongzhe could easily take him down within ten steps.
By then, Zhao Lin’s life and death would no longer be in his hands.
But Zhao Lin was not fooled.
Not only did he not come over, he didn't even say a word and just ordered his men to attack.
These houses were made of a lot of wood, and as the rockets fell, they quickly caught fire. The houses were filled with fire and smoke, which made Xiong Hongyi cough.
"Use the table as a shield and charge out!"
Xiong Hongyi had no choice but to give the order: "Hongzhe, hide well and don't move. If we are all dead, Zhao Lin will definitely come to check. Then you can take action. As long as we capture Zhao Lin, victory will still be ours, and our death will not be in vain."
Xiong Hongzhe roared in pain and looked for something to cover his body. His scarlet eyes watched as Xiong Hongyi and another companion rushed out carrying a table as a shield.
"Zhao Lin, you coward, if you have the guts, challenge me in a one-on-one fight..."
Xiong Hongyi's business came to an abrupt end.
Tears welled up in Xiong Hongzhe's eyes.
"Search, leave no one alive." Chen Qifeng ordered.
The sword and shield soldiers moved forward with their shields, the spearmen followed behind, and the crossbowmen were on one side. They formed teams of three and began to search along the front yard.
After searching every room, the deputy general finally reported: "General, there are no survivors."
"Have you searched everything?" Chen Qifeng asked.
"Except for the main house, we didn't search it. The fire was too big and the brothers couldn't get in." said the deputy general.
"Um!"
Chen Qifeng turned to Zhao Lin and reported, "Sir, they've all been killed."
"Have they all been killed?"
Zhao Lin walked slowly into the yard. There were flames all around and corpses lying on the ground.
The one in the middle was Xiong Hongyi. He and another man were carrying a table and rushing forward with a knife in one hand. He was hit by seven or eight arrows and was only breathing out but not in.
"The people in the Xiong family are so stupid." Zhao Lin sighed.
Xiong Hongyi stared at Zhao Lin intently, as if he was determined to die with his eyes open.
Zhao Lin came to the outside of the burning main house.
Xiong Hongzhe stared at Zhao Lin through the burning flames inside, his teeth chattering, ready to rush out at any time.
"Did they rush out from here? Are there others?" Zhao Lin asked.
"Yes, sir," the deputy general quickly reported, "These two men rushed out carrying a table. There was no one else but them."
"With such a big fire, I don't think anyone will survive. Retreat!"
Zhao Lin waved his hand, and everyone retreated immediately, without any delay, and left just like that.
A moment later.
With a loud crash.
Flames splashed everywhere, and Xiong Hongzhe came out. He didn't care that his body and hair were on fire, and hugged Xiong Hongyi: "Second brother, second brother, how are you?"
Xiong Hongyi said with difficulty: "Let's go, let's go back home and send someone else..."
"Okay, okay, let's go home now. Hang in there, second brother. I'll take you to see a doctor and we'll go home once you're cured."
Xiong Hongzhe hurriedly picked up Xiong Hongyi and wanted to leave.
"Go home? Can you go back?"
A mocking voice rang out.
Xiong Hongzhe looked up suddenly and saw Zhao Lin standing there with his hands behind his back, flanked by Su Di, Gao Junliang and Chen Qifeng. In front of them were a circle of sword and shield soldiers and a circle of crossbowmen.
Xiong Hongzhe didn't know that he had been cheated.
Zhao Lin didn't leave at all. He was waiting for him to come out.
"Zhao Lin! If you dare to fight me, I will kill you! I will kill your whole family!" Xiong Hongzhe said angrily.
