The Demon-Slaying Grandmaster

Chapter 42: Lure the enemy deep into your territory (seeking monthly ticket)

Li Jingxiao opened his eyes, stopped practicing and stood up. His Lightning Thunder Fist had gained another 6 points of proficiency.

It looks like if I retreat for a month, I can directly reach the level of mastery.

After carrying a bow and arrow and picking up a stick, he walked out of the tent and saw several strong men quickly dismantling the tent, pretending to have noticed something unusual and preparing to escape into the mountains.

More than 50 enemies a mile away soon discovered the situation on Li Jingxiao's side.

Now these people either rush over quickly on horseback, or simply stay still and wait for Li Jingxiao to lead his men into the mountains, and then find an opportunity to ambush them in the mountains.

But since the target has been suspected, what if Li Jingxiao and others were allowed to escape into the mountains with tents and supplies?

Instead, they had the supply advantage.

If it drags on for two or three days, I might be too hungry to have any strength left.

So the leader of the team hesitated for a moment and then ordered everyone to mount their horses.

A distance of one mile would only take a few minutes for a fast horse charge.

Soon, Li Jingxiao heard the sound of horse hooves.

Zhao Junming chuckled and said to Li Jingxiao, "Sir, please go into the mountains first with the three Taoist priests, Jiang Liu, and Liu Qi."

Li Jingxiao had said before that tonight's counterattack operation would be arranged and commanded by Zhao Junming.

Now I naturally won't object.

Jiang Liu and Liu Qi are cousins, their ancestral home is Dandong.

Jiang Liu entered the camp at the age of 16 and never returned on the 7th.

Liu Qizhe joined the camp at the age of 18 and fought in more than a dozen battles, big and small. Although they were not large-scale, he took the lives of at least a dozen Tartars.

According to Liu Qi's military achievements, he should be at least a small flag.

Unfortunately, in order to support his family of more than a dozen brothers and sisters, his wife, children and parents, this guy exchanged heads for silver and gave the opportunity of promotion to others.

However, fortune and misfortune go hand in hand.

The person who exchanged merit with him, after becoming a small flag, wanted to be promoted to the general flag.

The more active he was, the greater the danger, and he eventually died on the battlefield.

With these two people guarding, they can at least withstand the attacks of more than a dozen people.

These private soldiers trained by the powerful in the capital seem to have good combat capabilities, but in fact they probably don't see much blood.

Compared with the Tartars on the battlefield, their ruthlessness is more than one level lower.

With bows and arrows in hand, Jiang Liu and Liu Qi might be able to kill more than a dozen people just by roaming around.

So Li Jingxiao was not panicked at all, not to mention that he had enough confidence to kill all 50 or so enemies.

However, Shi Delong and his two brothers were more confident when facing the strangeness.

But when they encountered groups of private soldiers and a rain of arrows, it was definitely the three brothers who escaped.

Maoshan's real strength lies in its talismans. Some of these talismans are useful against ghosts but have little effect on humans.

The mage was approached by warriors, and there were more than ten times as many warriors as him. It would be foolish not to escape.

Seeing that dozens of fast horses had already rushed half the distance, Li Jingxiao pretended to be panicked.

Shouting, "Abandon the baggage and go into the mountains quickly."

Zhao Junming and several other strongmen also threw their things away in panic, and then hurriedly followed Li Jingxiao, Shi Delong and others and ran away.

This further strengthened the confidence of the group.

When they reached the foot of the mountain, the horses only continued to rush up the mountain for a few dozen meters before they had to dismount and chase after them.

Not even anyone was left to take care of the horses. They all had no discipline or tactics, as if they could make a fortune by just killing a target.

Li Jingxiao, who was walking quickly up the mountain, shook his head and thought to himself that it seemed that his head must be very valuable.

Even though Zhao Junming and his men hadn't read much military literature and couldn't even read, they could still see that these people were just a mob. However, the dumber the enemy, the better for their side.

After climbing a hill and occupying an advantageous position, Zhao Junming saw the sky getting slightly brighter.

Then he said, "Sir, we will stop the enemy here. You, the three Taoist priests, Jiang Liu, and Liu Qi, go over the hill."

Li Jingxiao did not leave. He plunged the long stick in his hand into the mud and took the longbow from his back.

Seeing Zhao Junming trying to persuade him, Li Jingxiao laughed and said, "Alright, I can knock all of you over with just a long stick. There's no need to hide behind."

Zhao Junming thought about it and said nothing more.

After all, with the addition of two archers, Jiang Liu and Liu Qi, and Li Jingxiao, the strongest martial artist, sniping would be easier.

After Li Jingxiao finished speaking, he pulled out a long arrow from the quiver on his back, drew the bow, and shot an arrow at the back of the more than 50 people who were rushing towards him, a sturdy man with a strong build but not fast steps.

This man was obviously wearing more than one layer of armor, and he was strong and sturdy, holding a long mace in his hand.

If he were to charge at me, it would be hard to say whether the other captains and strongmen on my side, except myself, would be able to kill him without any harm.

Moreover, the long mace is a heavy weapon and is difficult to resist with swords and knives.

If you are not careful, the sword in your hand will be broken.

The arrow came suddenly, but was still blocked by the man with the long mace in his hand.

Li Jingxiao secretly thought that this man was amazing. He could use a long mace to block a strong bow and heavy arrow. He had an extraordinary eyesight and his arm strength was also very strong.

He drew his arrow, drew his bow again, and shot another arrow at the man.

Before, I couldn’t kill the opponent with a sneak attack, and now it’s even more difficult.

But Li Jingxiao didn't care at all, and even ignored the killer who was rushing closer.

He shot arrow after arrow at the man, but after only five arrows, the man's arms began to feel numb, and he knew that if he didn't dodge, he would not be able to receive many more arrows.

After being hit by another arrow, he quickly hid behind a big tree.

But this person has actually left the main force.

Li Jingxiao then did the same as Zhao Junming and the others and aimed at the killer who had already rushed up.

Shi Delong and his two brothers worked together to pick up large rocks and throw them down the mountain.

The rolling stones had a greater deterrent effect, easily disrupting the killers' formation and creating more chaos.

In an instant, seven bows and arrows killed or injured half of the killers when they rushed within ten meters.

Especially the crossbow in Li Jingxiao's hand, which did not aim to kill the enemy in one shot, and its shooting speed was much faster.

All the targets he hit were pierced through the body, arms or thighs by the sharp arrows.

By the time the killers calmed down after being frightened by the huge casualties, their number had decreased by one third.

At this time, Zhao Junming nodded to his cousin Zhao Junheng beside him.

Zhao Junheng hurriedly took out the ox horn from his waist and started blowing it.

As soon as the horn was blown, the six captains who were lying in ambush nearby immediately rushed out from both sides.

The killers were about to rush to the top of the mountain when they suddenly saw ambushes on both sides and were terrified.

In a moment, several more people were hit by arrows, and Li Jingxiao on the top of the mountain also shot two arrows in a row.

Morale plummeted to the bottom in an instant, and everyone ran down the mountain in panic.

Li Jingxiao had no intention of killing all these people, so he put away his longbow and picked up the long stick beside him.

His eyes were fixed on the burly man holding the long mace.

This man's martial arts skills are really good. On the battlefield, he can definitely be considered a tough guy.
