C40 Stall for Time

In the woods on the eastern outskirts of Shanghai.

This place was desolate and uninhabited. There were no residents in the surroundings.

The old city lord and the others were gathered beside a big locust tree in the middle of the forest.

There was a tree gate that was the height of a person on the trunk of the big locust tree, and this was the exit of Worryfree City.

The old city lord hung up the phone and sighed.

"Sigh! He told us to guard here first and not let the horse in and out. Ze Yu will bring people over immediately."

The Spear King frowned. After all, he knew how powerful Lin Feng was.

Although they had the terrain advantage, the tree could not withstand a large number of bullets. Once the tree fell, they would not be able to hold on without the terrain. Fortunately, they had reinforcements. Now, it was up to them to see if they could hold on until reinforcements arrived.

How could the old city lord not understand? It was just that this matter concerned the rise and fall of his Liu family. He could not be allowed to retreat.

"Gun King, all of this will depend on you. Once this matter succeeds, you will also receive endless benefits."

The old City Lord's only reliance now was the Spear King. And how could the Spear King not understand the stakes involved? After all, he had provoked someone he shouldn't have provoked to hide here. Without Liu Xianrong's protection, he could foresee the consequences. Thousands of miles away, his corpse lying on the street.

The Spear King thought for a moment and looked at it. He had no choice but to make a decision.

"Old City Lord. Now we have to stall for time. You and Ah Fu have to join the battle, or we won't have enough men."

"Old master..."

Ah Fu was clearly a little afraid. It was just that the old city glared at him. He had no choice but to shut his mouth.

"No problem. Tell me, what should I do?"

The old city lord had no choice but to agree at this moment.

"I will send a few people down to the bend to use favorable terrain to block them. After that, we will fight them at the entrance of the tree."

This was the best way that the Spear King could think of. After all, the difference in strength was too great. They could only use the terrain and numbers to make up for it.

The old City Lord agreed to the Spear King's decision. At this time, he would not blindly come up with ideas. After all, this not only concerned his life, but also the rise and fall of his Liu Family.

"Alright, all of us will listen to your commands."

The Spear King nodded and agreed.

"Everyone, line up."

The old city lord, Ah Fu, and the 'Black Shirt Army' stood in a row.

"You..."

"You...!!!"

"You...

...

"And you..."

"Step forward!!"

The Spear King had chosen eight of the smaller 'Black Shirt Army'. This was quite suitable for a battle in a narrow space. It could be seen that the Spear King was quite skilled. It was just that he was unlucky to encounter Lin Feng.

The eight of them took a step forward at the same time.

"The eight of you go down the tunnel first. I will go down and tell you what to do later."

"Yes."

The eight of them replied and went back into the tree hole.

The Spear King turned his head and looked at the remaining people.

"You still have 36 people in total, divided into 12 groups and three people in a group."

"Later, the six groups on the left will take turns to attack the cave entrance. The six groups on the right will look for trees nearby to hide and form an encirclement."

"Our goal is to attack, so don't worry about bullets. Just hit them hard, do you hear me?"

"I heard you."

Everyone replied in unison.

The old city lord and Ah Fu were naturally assigned to the six groups on the right. They were also the last group to face Lin Feng.

"Alright! Let's go our separate ways. I'll go down the passageway first. I'll come up later."

The Spear King called out and went in through the hole in the tree.

Everyone began to move as well.

When the Spear King arrived at the cave, he discovered that the first eight people who came down were hiding at the nearest bend. The Spear King could do nothing about it. After all, no one wanted to die.

Seeing the Spear King arrive, the eight people immediately stood up.

The Spear King waved his hand.

"Alright, come with me."

With the Spear King leading them, the eight of them could no longer stay where they were. They followed closely behind the Spear King.

After walking for about 500 meters, they arrived at the seventh bend. The Spear King stopped.

"Alright! This is our first ambush point."

"There can only be two people in the tunnel at most, so we'll leave two people here to guard later."

"Remember, one person has to shoot and the other person has to hide, but there can't be any pause in between. Once someone is sacrificed, the other person shouldn't fight and immediately retreat to the next ambush point, do you hear me?"

"I heard you."

The Spear King's words gave everyone a chance to survive. At this moment, they were no longer afraid.

Then, under the command of the Spear King, the two of them stayed here.

The Spear King then led the remaining six people back, leaving one person at each bend.

The Spear King's plan was very simple. One person would definitely not be able to defend. The two of them could only defend a group, but could not defend too far. They could only think of this compromise.

It seemed that the method was not bad, but the effect would depend on actual combat.

After the Spear King was assigned, he hurriedly left the passageway.

He, who had been fighting all year round, understood that none of these people could survive. Otherwise, he would have set up an ambush long ago and waited for Lin Feng.

The difference in strength was not something that could be changed by numbers.

...

Lin Feng knew nothing about this, but even if he knew, he would not change anything. After all, this was the only way he could get out.

Lin Feng and Ma Jin were still scouting ahead. There were too many people behind them, and there were also many old, weak, women and children. Gradually, the distance between them was widened.

This made Lin Feng feel much more at ease. After all, they were too close to each other. If they fought, it was inevitable that they would accidentally injure each other.

After nearly an hour, Lin Feng suddenly stopped. The horse did not stop and crashed into Lin Feng's body.

Lin Feng turned around and did a silencing gesture. Ma Jin understood and knew that Lin Feng must have noticed something.

Lin Feng did notice the enemy, but he did not need to look. He heard it.

Ever since he had reached the perfected Foundation Establishment realm, his six senses had increased by quite a bit.

He heard rapid breathing in front of him. It was two people.

Lin Feng did not mishear it. The first ambush point arranged by the Spear King was less than fifty meters away from him.

At this moment, both of them were nervous. After all, if one of them died, they would both have a chance. Therefore, they were breathing heavily at the moment.

Lin Feng judged the distance between them. He handed the Gatling gun to Ma Jin and took out a pistol from his waist.

There were not many people fighting in a short distance. It was obvious that the pistol was more stable and accurate.

Lin Feng whispered into Ma Jin's ear.

"General Ma, wait here for me. You can come back after I rush over."

Ma Jin didn't dare to say anything. He nodded to indicate that he understood, but his face was full of worry.

Lin Feng leaned against the wall and adjusted his breathing. He secretly glanced at the corner of the tunnel.

Realizing that there was only one person guarding the entrance, he thought for a moment and understood. The other person should be behind the stone wall. This should not be far from the exit. This was stalling for time.

Bang...

Lin Feng did not hesitate and rushed out. Before the man could react, Lin Feng's bullet had already shot into his head.

The other man saw the guard was killed. He followed the gun king's instructions and quickly retreated.

Lin Feng did not stop after shooting. He rushed over at high speed. His speed was not something ordinary people could compare with.

That man had run less than ten meters when Lin Feng arrived at the tunnel entrance. When he saw that man running, he shot him in the head again.

When the man at the next ambush spot saw that the man had been killed, he immediately retreated.

Just like that, Lin Feng chased after him again and again, taking the lives of the fleeing men.

Until he killed these eight people, these eight people did not fire a single shot. It had not even been five minutes.

Perhaps this was just as some people had said before. The person who formulated the strategy was a genius, but the person who executed the strategy was a fool. It could even be said that he was a stupid pig.
