Chapter 884 Veteran (2)
Xu Damabang was unwilling to attack the Big Knife Workshop.
He knew very well that the family behind him, although they had been rooted in Luoyi for much longer than the Zhou family where Zhou Laodao was born, and had a lot more members, there were even as many as five people in the family who had entered the realm of true cultivation.
But Zhou Laodao is an unreasonable stick that will suddenly appear from behind you and poke you like a chrysanthemum - with the same cultivation level of "Heavenly Soldier" and the same nameless and inferior martial arts practiced, Zhou Laodao's strength is much stronger than Xu Damabang.
Even if the five true practitioners of the Xu Damabang tribe joined forces, they were unable to defeat Zhou Laodao!
Add to that Zhou Changgong 's bow and arrows, and Zhou Tiejiao's spare parts... Is the Big Sword Shop so easy to break into and deal with?
But looking at the sinister and murderous Luo Bo in front of him, feeling his unshakable will, and then looking at the Luo family members and Luo family's private soldiers standing around... and thinking about Luo Bo's promise that once the Big Knife Workshop was captured and the dust settled, he could get 30% of the Zhou family's assets outside the city!
That is hundreds of thousands of acres of fertile land, a large number of fish ponds, mulberry forests, and even matching materials and wealth.
That was a windfall!
Although they are of no use in cultivation... these grains, fish, silk and other items cannot be exchanged for precious imperial coins... but these things can allow people to wear fine clothes and eat delicious food, and allow people to enjoy more handsome boys and beautiful women!
In this world, people’s life span is extremely long. If they don’t die suddenly, there is no telling how long they will live.
Therefore, the big men who really have aspirations have taken the purpose of "living a refined life" to the extreme.
Eat good, use good, drink good, sleep well!
That would cost real money!
Gritting his teeth and stamping his feet, Xu Damabang admitted it. He looked at Luo Bo and lowered his voice: "The casualties will be heavy... If all the casualties in the Ximen Ranger Battalion are killed or wounded, this will be the blame..."
Luo Bo said calmly: "Of course it is the fault of Zhou Laodao's family. You are carrying out the will of the City Elders' Council and eradicating the scourge of Luoyi... What can you do wrong? All the sins are not yours."
Xu Damabang let out a breath.
"Master, I need enough true cultivation to cooperate with the attack." As the standard-bearer of the West Gate Cavalry, although the blockade of certain knowledge in this world has reached an outrageous level, after all, he has led the army for many years and still has basic tactical qualities.
In such a dark night, facing the big knife shop that the Zhou family has run for many years, without a brave enough general to lead the team, all these tens of thousands of cavalrymen would probably not be able to make much of a splash - as long as there is enough imperial money, as long as there is a sufficiently dangerous geographical advantage, Zhou Laodao alone can slaughter all these ten thousand ordinary cavalrymen...
For those who truly want to practice Taoism, as long as there is an adequate supply of imperial coins, Ten Thousand Enemies is just the most basic operation!
Luo Bo nodded slowly, pointed at the leaders of the wealthy families who had gathered together, and ordered them to cooperate with Xu Damabang to rush into the big knife workshop.
Dozens of leaders suddenly turned pale.
They all knew how powerful Zhou Laodao was, and no one was willing to enter the Big Knife Workshop in the dark and fight Zhou Laodao to the death... However, facing the intimidation of Luo Bo and the fierce power accumulated by the Luo family behind him over the years, the leaders of these families surrendered.
There are still three gaps in the city wall.
Dozens of true practitioners, wearing precious spiritual gold armor, holding "heavenly soldiers" level swords, spears, swords and halberds, and also prepared heavy shields and external armor plates, gathered together in a noisy manner.
Behind them were large groups of armored soldiers armed with powerful crossbows.
Behind these armored soldiers were teams of rangers carrying wooden battering rams, ready to dismantle walls, knock down houses, and destroy as many buildings and defenses as possible in the Big Sword Workshop to create a fair combat environment for both sides.
The second master of the Zhou family, who was standing nearby, felt something was wrong.
He rushed to Luo Bo and said, "Hey, Elder Luo, Elder Luo, we agreed not to demolish the house! This house, this yard, this property, were all promised to me!"
"Do you know how much gold and silver it cost to build this big knife shop and such a large building?"
The second master of the Zhou family shouted loudly, but was rudely blocked by several soldiers of the Luo family's private army. No matter how he shouted and rushed, how could he get close to Luo Bo?
Xu Damabang frowned. He looked at the bodies of Ma Shangfeng and others on the ground, then at the bodies of the Ma family women who had obviously been brutally tortured to death. He then asked several familiar members of the Luo family about the reason why the second master of the Zhou family appeared here, and he couldn't help but sneered a few times.
Even a pig can guess that the death of Ma Shangfeng and others was nothing more than an excuse.
Since the second master of the Zhou family and his group can even betray their own family... they may not have figured out where the building of Dadaofang, such a large piece of land, and all these bricks, tiles, beams and pillars came from?
Those were all chopped out by Zhou Laodao with his own knife!
Without this knife...you, the second master of the Zhou family, and these stupid men in your family, still want to protect this foundation?
Shaking his head, Xu Damabang lowered his voice and said, "We have to do it thoroughly... Elder Luo, the land of the Big Knife Shop is in a good location, which is worth a lot of money. Just them?"
Xu Damabang curled his lips.
"You need a witness!" Luo Bo spread out his hands.
"We can all testify!" Xu Damabang smiled, and with the help of several auxiliary soldiers, he put on two extra layers of heavy armor, fixed a thickened and heavy round shield on his left arm, and held his famous gold-plated four-sided stick that was as tall as his body in both hands, and danced vigorously with the stick.
Luo Bo smiled and waved to the tribesmen behind him.
Several Luo family members silently held swords and walked to the struggling and cursing Second Master Zhou, and chopped him into dozens of pieces with swords and swords. The men and women of the Zhou family who stood aside and followed Second Master Zhou to rebel against the Big Knife Shop turned pale with fear and screamed as if they had seen a ghost.
The Luo family's private soldiers in all directions swung their spears and halberds, and the sound of "puffing" was endless. All the Zhou family's traitors were killed, and no one was lucky. Some of the Luo family's private soldiers walked to the corpses, not caring about the blood, and directly dug out a large amount of gold, silver, and jewelry from the corpses.
Luo Bo exhaled a breath: "It's peaceful now!"
Xu Damabang walked towards the Big Knife Shop with his big stick in his hand. He said in a deep voice, "I hope the Big Knife Shop will be quiet soon... Tsk, if the Big Knife Shop can't be quiet tonight... Elder Luo, your Luo family will be very lively in the future!"
Luo Yu curled his lips slightly and snorted.
He gave a slight signal to the people around him, and two members of the Luo family, wearing heavy armor, followed Xu Damabang silently. The armor worn by these two members of the Luo family was more exquisite and more restrained than the spiritual gold armor worn by others. This was a true "heavenly soldier" level armor.
In terms of defense alone, the defense of a single layer of armor worn by these two members of the Luo family is equivalent to that of ten sets of ordinary spirit gold armor stacked together.
However, with such defensive power, this genuine 'Heavenly Soldier' grade armor is much lighter than ordinary spirit gold armor, and is more agile and convenient to move with. When walking, one can't hear the slightest sound of armor friction!
'call'!
A strong wind blew by.
On the carts near the wall of the Great Sword Workshop, the tall wooden arrow towers lit up with extremely bright grease braziers. Behind each brazier, there was a concave mirror with a diameter of more than six feet. These polished concave mirrors gathered the light from the braziers into beams of light, which were cast into the Great Sword Workshop where all the lights were turned off, illuminating the complex and rugged streets inside.
"Attack!" The moment the brazier lit up, Xu Damabang swung his stick vigorously, took small steps, and approached the gap in the city wall little by little.
Around him, a dozen or so Taoists from other wealthy families in Luoyi followed him in small steps with twitching faces.
A group of people pushed and shoved each other , like a group of loving little quails, crowded together, and hesitated for a long time before reluctantly stepping into the wall of the Big Knife Workshop. Then, under the scolding of Xu Damabang, a team of cavalrymen wearing helmets and armor, holding heavy metal shields as high as their eyebrows in both hands, carefully and silently walked into the city wall.
A sharp sound of breaking through the air suddenly exploded.
'Slurp...choke'!
Little sparks exploded on the heavy shields held up by these soldiers, and armor-piercing arrows forged from pure metal shot out from the darkness, piercing through these heavy shields with incredible force and speed, and hit the chests of these soldiers hard, smashing them and their armor into pieces.
The heavy metal shields were destroyed by the force of the arrows, and transparent holes as big as a human head were blown up one after another. Metal fragments flew in all directions, making sharp sounds of breaking through the air.
Seeing such a loud noise, Luo Bo, who was supervising the battle from behind, felt his eyes twitching.
Several members of the Luo family who were also proficient in archery suddenly changed their expressions. They murmured in a low voice: "No, no... Even the strongest bow in Luoyi cannot shoot such a force... This arrow is wrong!"
After hearing several tribesmen say this, Luo Bo's face suddenly changed.
In the dark night, in the complex terrain, facing an enemy with a geographical advantage... and also facing such an incredibly strong bow... I don't need to say more about the consequences, right?
Luo Bo shouted in a low voice: "Is it Zhou Changgong? Is it him? Where did the Zhou family get such a strong bow? Impossible, absolutely impossible!"
Luo Bo hissed, "No strong bow can escape our eyes and ears and flow into Luoyi..."
A member of the Luo family said in a deep voice: "Unless this bow does not come from the channels we control... and does not come from above."
Luo Bo's expression became extremely interesting.
"Don't tell me that Zhou Laodao's family really colluded with those big bandits, right?"
