Chapter 195 Feint and hole cards
Seeing the enemy slowly attacking towards the gentle slope, Song Mu's guards breathed a lot thicker, and many people's hands holding weapons even trembled slightly.
On the contrary, the dozens of guards under Li Xu were all calm. Although they were both serious, they looked calm and calm without showing any expression of fear and nervousness.
This scene fell into Song Mu's eyes and he became more curious about Li Xu.
I really don’t know how he trained such elite soldiers in just a few months at a young age. It’s a bit incredible to think about it.
If someone who is unaware of the situation, he may think that the guards who have carefully selected and trained for several years every day are only a group of rookie recruits who have only been a few months old, while Li Xu's subordinates are the real elites in a hundred battles.
Li Xu did not pay attention to Song Mu's expression and was observing the situation of the enemy down the gentle slope.
Although these enemies seem to be well-trained, fortunately they are preparing for ambush. Although there are a large number of people, they are not equipped with heavy weapons. They are mostly leather armor, and most of the weapons they use are short swords and bows, which are more suitable for long-range ambushing and more suitable for close combat in narrow spaces.
Although some enemies in the front row also hold shields in their hands, they are just small wooden round shields wrapped in iron, and their protection ability is also limited.
After realizing that the enemy had no heavy weapons, Li Xu felt much more at ease and began to look for the enemy's leader.
His eyes were like a falcon. After some searching, Li Xu locked in a guy who was hiding at the back, wearing a set of black iron armor and covering his face with a facial armor on his face.
This man lived behind the formation and rode on a horse. Dozens of people were guarding him, looking in his direction, and from time to time he explained something to the people next to him.
It should be this person.
Li Xu secretly estimated the distance between the other party and him, which seemed a bit far, exceeding a range of two hundred meters.
If it is within a distance of 200 meters, Li Xu can launch the hero skill "sniper attack" and kill this guy with one arrow.
As long as the leader dies, even if the remaining soldiers are well-trained, they will not have much fighting spirit. It is only a matter of time before they collapse.
It seems that this guy is a careful guy.
Li Xu thought to himself whether to shoot an arrow, but he quickly rejected the idea.
Once the enemy is alerted, the other party will notice that his arrow can shoot so far, and he will definitely dodge further. If he wants to attack again, there will be no chance.
If there is no opportunity for the time being, it does not mean there is no chance.
Li Xu jumped off the big stone, inserted his long sword into the land in front of him, reached out to grab the bow, and took another pot of arrows and hung them around his waist.
There were nearly a hundred people in their group, except for Song Mu and the other three, and Li Xu, all of them carried bows and arrows on their saddles.
In addition to bows and arrows, Li Xu's people even have a crossbow that can fire ten times around their waists.
However, this kind of crossbow has to be re-installed every time, and it cannot be achieved by pulling the trigger and firing continuously like the automatic gun in the previous life.
Song Mu's guards also have a shorter and more powerful crossbow in their hands, and it is said that poison is also quenched on the crossbow arrows.
The bow and arrow are responsible for far exceeding the strike. If the enemy approaches, you can use crossbow arrows to continue output.
When the enemy arrives, it will fight directly.
Moreover, all the guards are equipped with leather armor, and they are also very good-quality double-layer cowhide leather armor. Although they are stuffy, their protective performance has been greatly improved.
These are also the confidence that Li Xu can stand firm on the gentle slope here and wait for help.
The enemy slowly approached the gentle slope, and obviously saw the branches and shrubs on the ground. Under the cover of the shield, the enemies in the first row carefully tried to pick them with their spears.
All the guards had already set their bows and arrows. Song Mu's guards couldn't help but keep looking in Li Xu's direction, waiting for Li Xu to order an attack.
However, Li Xu never issued an order to attack, allowing the enemy to lift the branches and shrubs, revealing the trap below.
The enemy saw that there was no movement on the hillside. Although he was still cautious, he obviously became more courageous and moved to the gentle slope faster.
There was even a team of archers following behind, starting to shoot at the gentle slope.
Although Li Xu watched as the first wave of attacking enemies did not fully enter the range of the bow, considering his condescending advantage, shooting from top to bottom could obviously increase the range.
Therefore, when a small leader among the enemy raised the long sword in his hand and was about to swing it, Li Xu shot out a sudden arrow.
The arrow suddenly shot into the left eye of the little leader, and the man let out a scream that was not like a human voice, and fell on his back.
Li Xu's arrows were equivalent to orders to launch a counterattack, and the arrows in the hands of the guards were also shot out.
In an instant, the arrows fell like rain, and they were basically aimed at the enemy archers hiding behind.
Amid the screams, the enemy archers fell down.
Some people shouted to shoot arrows, but because they were shooting upwards, they were caught off guard by Li Xu and his party's sudden rain of arrows. Therefore, in fact, the killing of Li Xu and his party on the gentle slope was really limited.
There were only two more advanced guards in the Song Mansion, who were more unlucky, one was shot in the arm with an arrow and the other was shot in the thigh.
Then the injured person was quickly dragged to the rear to deal with it.
Even if other arrows hit the vital position, they will be blocked by leather armor.
Some of them are a little stronger, without penetrating the leather armor, and arrows are hanging on the leather armor, swaying and a bit funny.
Li Xu was even more calm. Standing on the huge rock, although he could not shoot the opponent's leader with one arrow, he specifically looked for the opponent's archers, one arrow was shot, and it was the same as it was.
Although the guards were not as magical and superb as Li Xu, they were all well-trained masters. Seeing Li Xu's shooting so sharply, they all inspired their competitive spirit and began to choose those enemy archers as fire-focused targets.
Under such a sharp and accurate attack from the rain of arrows, the first wave of the enemy's attack was quickly repelled.
About forty or fifty corpses were left on the spot.
Seeing the enemy retreat, Li Xu raised his hand and the rain of arrows behind him also stopped.
The guards of the Song Mansion were impressed by Li Xu's performance. At this time, the familiar look at him was filled with admiration and heat, so they could be willing to abide by his orders.
Seeing the enemy retreat temporarily, Song Mu and the other two breathed a sigh of relief.
Although they are much more courageous than other civil servants, they have never experienced the battle formation after all.
Liu Jian is a little better, after all, he has commanded the resistance of the bandit army on the top of the city.
Although the Song brothers also practice martial arts, they have basically never fought with anyone. So although they appear to be calm, their hearts are always hanging.
Although the enemy retreated temporarily, Li Xu would not naively think that the enemy would give up so easily.
The first round was actually just a test.
So what will happen to the enemy next?
Li Xu had been observing the situation behind the enemy. After a moment, he suddenly heard a clanging sound. After a closer look, his eyes suddenly became solemn and cold.
After seeing the enemy formation, a group of soldiers covered in iron armor emerged.
These iron armored soldiers held shields in one hand and long swords about the size of a horizontal knife in their hands. The armor reflected light from the sun.
Is this the enemy's trump card?
Even the heavy armored infantry were prepared, which shows that they were really deliberate!
