Chapter 741 Prepare to die!
Zhao Lianping thrust his spear straight into Lu Wei's heart, the spear tip reflecting the light through the breastplate.
Lu Wei, however, looked on with disdain. His massive body weighed down the horses beneath him, causing them to neigh.
He changed the direction of the copper hammer in his hand, from a horizontal sweep to a downward strike, and the copper hammer smashed down with a fierce gust of wind.
Zhao Lianping flicked the tip of his spear, while Yan Chengying also shifted his body to the side, causing his bicycle to crash directly into the horse, and he reached behind him for his greatsword.
He rolled to the side on the ground, drew his greatsword, and severed the horse's leg.
This caused Lu Wei's movements to become distorted, and the copper hammer in his hand smashed into the bicycle, turning it into a pile of rubble.
At that moment, Zhao Lianping swung his spear, aiming directly at Lu Wei's head. Poor Lu Wei, with his infamous reputation, was killed by Zhao Lianping's spear, helmet and all.
Zhao Lianping held up Lu Wei's head with his spear, his expression incredibly arrogant. "Lu Wei is dead! You lot, why don't you surrender now!"
Zhao Lianping and Yan Chengying's teamwork was very smooth, and Li Heng couldn't help but take a second look at the two of them.
He was used to the routines of fighting in the martial arts world, but he knew nothing about military confrontations.
This encounter was extremely dangerous. If it weren't for his family's exquisite lightness skill passed down through generations, and the fact that Lu Wei was only interested in recklessness, he estimated that he would have ended up like that bicycle in less than eighty moves.
"Hey, hey, hey, why aren't you retreating? You don't think you're like Lord Li Ming, possessed by aura and immune to arrow rain, do you?" Yan Chengying complained. Lu Wei's horse was already ruined, and Zhao Lianping's actions, though seemingly imposing, made him the most conspicuous target.
The enemy pirates numbered over five thousand, while we only had a little over a hundred men. They could overwhelm us with a barrage of arrows.
Yan Chengying grabbed Zhao Lianping's spear tip, casually hung Lu Wei's head behind his waist, and jumped onto Li Heng's horse.
"Brother Heng, retreat quickly! Those river bandits are numerous, and we are short-handed. Lord Li Ming has already brought reinforcements, and they will arrive soon." Yan Chengying spoke quickly. Li Heng also knew what the situation was. He had chosen to lead the charge and fight against Liu Shuimiao because he saw that Liu Shuimiao had some command ability.
Otherwise, if he were to do this himself, Li Heng said he was just doing it for his family's business.
When Yan Chengying and Zhao Lianping rushed forward, Liu Shuimiao took over command of the more than one hundred men. Although these men were lightly equipped, they all carried a set of shields and spears.
He then used this modified carriage to charge towards the rear army, and even if there were ambushes in the rear army, he would not be afraid.
Lu Wei in Pixian has already been beheaded by Brother Cheng Ying and that guy Zhao Lianping. All I need to do is retreat slowly and parry the arrows.
Those river pirates were indeed poorly organized. Even without Lu Wei's deterrent, they were still hurling arrows into the sky, despite the arrows being made of reeds.
But they couldn't withstand a volley of fire from five thousand men!
Yan Chengying used his greatsword as a shield, while Zhao Lianping wielded his spear with impenetrable force, deflecting the rain of arrows aimed at them.
Aside from a few unlucky individuals who couldn't even hold their shields properly and ended up getting injured, most of them managed to retreat successfully out of the range of the arrow rain.
"Watch out for ambushes on the left and right flanks! War chariots, lead the way!" As soon as Yan Chengying returned, he took over command. In an instant, everyone except Li Heng's retainers and subordinates changed direction, the vanguard became the rearguard, and three horses pulled the makeshift war chariots and charged forward.
"Wow, this is so exciting!" Zhao Lianping exclaimed. Although he was being chased relentlessly, he wasn't annoyed at all.
"You won't be as exciting in a moment!" Yan Chengying said irritably. Fortunately, his demonic sword protected him and blocked many arrows. The arrows hit the greatsword and made a clanging sound.
Actually, it wasn't the Demon Sword protecting its master; it was just that the greatsword was too wide. The broad blade basically covered Yan Chengying's shoulders and lower back, acting as a protective shield.
Riding on horseback and sitting in the first seat, Li Heng not only had the advantage of height, but also had sharp ears and eyes due to his martial arts skills. He immediately spotted a figure blocking the rear of the army. "Wait a minute, look, isn't that Qin Baijiang?"
These words immediately made Zhao Lianping climb onto Yan Chengying's head like a monkey, his hands resting beside his head, looking just like a monkey. "Wuhu, it really seems to be true!"
"Who cares, just crash into it!" Yan Chengying didn't understand the difference between a first-rate master and a second-rate master.
The chariots charged wildly, seemingly unstoppable on the official road.
That man was naturally Qin Baijiang. Huang Shun was indeed cunning and scheming. He guessed that he might not be able to stop the five thousand river pirates, so he left Qin Baijiang behind about a mile away.
He led nearly ten thousand river pirates to attack Poyang County, but soon, Huang Shun saw the last scene of his life.
Nearly 10,000 people marched along the official road toward Po County, their footsteps audible even three miles away.
However, Poxian didn't have time to care about that at the moment. As soon as Li Ming stepped out, he looked at these guys strangely and said, "Really, they dare to ambush like this?"
Alright, you guys, prepare to die!
