Chapter 538: Veteran's Might
The veteran was the first to rush forward.
He knew that in a war, one cannot be cowardly and cannot fall behind.
You may not be able to win, but you cannot let others get the upper hand.
He slashed at a bandit with his knife. The bandit didn't expect that a disabled old man in his forties would dare to take the initiative to attack him. He was so scared that he quickly raised his knife and slashed.
He should have blocked it, but he never learned how to block. He only learned how to attack others, but not how to be attacked.
He was slow to draw his sword, and the old soldier slashed him in the chest, killing the young bandit instantly.
"Thief, you deserve to be killed!"
The old soldier's decisiveness in killing stunned the official and the other diners.
"Kill someone, kill someone!"
Many people shouted.
Shen Changgong's guards also wielded their knives towards the bandits.
Seeing this, the Jianghu man immediately rushed forward, drew his sword and saw it.
The dozen or so bandits who rushed in were killed by Shen Changgong's guards in a few breaths. Only the bandit leader was left. He had hidden behind the crowd early, and when he saw that the situation was not good, he ran out immediately.
"Come! Gather! Someone here dares to kill our brothers!"
The bandit leader stood on the street and shouted, holding a machete in both hands.
The other bandits outside quickly gathered together, and the guards in the restaurant also came out.
The old soldier's eyes were cold, and his empty sleeves swayed in the wind. He turned his head to look at Shen Changgong who was holding two swords and asked,
"Young man, that's not how you hold a knife. You have to hold it tightly. You can't lift it or you won't be able to exert any strength."
Shen Changgong smiled slightly and said,
"Thanks for the reminder, brother."
"Forget it, just stand behind me later so no one can hurt you."
"how about you?"
"Me? I'm just a worthless person, so I'll just die. Even if I can exchange it for a few bandits, it's still a profit."
After saying this, the veteran rushed forward first.
Shen Changgong also immediately rushed forward with his guards.
One of the guards took out a bamboo tube and pulled it hard. A sky-high monkey flew into the sky and exploded with a bang.
Shen Changgong even invented gunpowder, so signal flares were naturally a piece of cake for him. However, gunpowder was precious and mostly used in military affairs, so relatively few signal flares were manufactured.
When the cavalry five miles away hear the sound of the signal flare, they will know that they are in danger and will immediately lead their troops over.
On the opposite side, more than a hundred bandits have gathered.
On Shen Changgong's side, there were only twenty shadow guards and bodyguards, plus himself, veterans and wanderers.
The old soldier rushed forward, holding a broken knife, and fought with a bandit. His sword was so powerful that he forced the bandit to retreat again and again.
Shen Changgong went straight to the bandit leader. As the leader, he must know a lot of information.
He immediately rushed forward and slashed at the bandit leader's face with a knife.
The bandit leader held his sword horizontally to block Shen Changgong's double swords. Shen Changgong quickly changed his moves and slashed at the bandit leader's arm with his sword.
He slashed left and right with both swords at the same time. The bandit leader didn't know where to defend himself. He made up his mind and raised his sword to slash at Shen Changgong.
As expected of an old bandit, he started out fighting with a life-for-life mentality, daring to fight and fighting bravely.
Shen Changgong dodged sideways, retracted his left hand's attack, and chopped the bandit leader's left arm with his right knife.
The bandit leader screamed and staggered backward. Shen Changgong took advantage of the situation and quickly rushed forward, kicking the bandit leader in the chest. Then he swung his knife quickly and cut the tendons in his hands and feet.
The bandit leader struggled to wriggle on the ground, screaming loudly.
"Tie them up!"
"Yes!"
The two guards immediately withdrew from the battle group, dragged the bandit leader to the front, picked up a rope and tied him to a pillar.
Although the leaders of those bandits were captured, they did not immediately scatter like monkeys when the tree fell. Instead, they attacked the crowd even more fiercely.
It seems that they also have their own rules. If they don't rescue the leader after he is captured, they will be punished by the boss when they return to the village.
Shen Changgong rushed forward, dodging and wielding his two swords, and one bandit after another fell under his swords accurately.
Seeing Shen Changgong's extraordinary ability, the Jianghu guest looked at him with envy and awe, and shouted,
"Brother, you're really good at fighting, better than me. Let's kill these bandits together!"
The old soldier looked at Shen Changgong, who was willing to kill anyone who stood in his way, with a puzzled look in his eyes.
At the same time, he also noticed that these guards holding knives attacked in a military style.
Could it be that this young man is not a businessman but a soldier?
Or maybe he is the son of a general?
The veteran didn't have time to think. He killed a bandit with one sword and then rushed forward to fight the enemy.
He was actually quite skilled, and was considered above averagely strong. The reason he lost the battle was that his personal martial arts skills played an almost negligible role in the legion battle.
Not to mention him, even masters like Shen Changgong and Ma Ling would undoubtedly be defeated when facing thousands of troops.
Shen Changgong led his men back and forth among the bandits, killing them continuously.
The veteran had killed three people and was a little exhausted. After all, he had just recovered from a serious injury and was also old.
He stopped and stood there panting, intending to recover his strength before going to kill the enemy again.
Suddenly, he saw two bandits, two who had escaped the net, holding knives and walking towards the restaurant with fierce eyes.
You don't need to ask to know who their target is.
He must have seen that he couldn't defeat that young man and his guards, so he planned to take those women hostage, or even kill them to vent his anger.
The old soldier did not even bother to rest, he rushed forward, blocked the door of the restaurant and shouted,
"You can't go in!"
"Get out of here! You old bastard!"
The two bandits immediately rushed towards the old soldier.
The three of them started fighting in front of the restaurant.
There were so many strong men in the restaurant, but they just watched and no one dared to go over to help.
The Empress and the others could not see outside the restaurant from where they were, after all, they were in a corner.
Tu Que Ling stood up, took a few steps, and saw the old soldier outside fighting with two bandits, and immediately said,
"Don't move here. I'll help him kill those two people."
After she finished speaking, she immediately ran outside.
but……
That's too late.
At the critical moment, something strange happened.
When the veteran was fighting with two bandits, he seized the weakness of one of the bandits and slashed at him with a knife, cutting the neck of the bandit on the right. However, the bandit on the left also took the opportunity to slash him in the stomach with a knife.
The tattered leather armor could not block the sharp blade at all. The bandit's powerful and heavy knife directly cut open the old soldier's belly, and even cut off half of the intestines inside.
Tu Queling flew over and threw a dart, hitting the bandit in the forehead.
The old soldier fell to the ground helplessly.
