005 Retreat to the Mountain Temple

[Chapter Word Count:3384 Last Updated:2014-09-2117:09:48.0]

The original caravan of more than 130 people is now only more than 110 people left, such a large number of people collectively break through is simply not hidden, now can only play a time difference, take advantage of the bandits' unexpected time to rush to the mountain temple, relying on the protection of the terrain may still have a glimmer of life.

The bandits never thought that the caravan would abandon their goods and break through? You must know that the intelligence said that the caravan had brought 110,000 yuan in cash this time, so if you don't want so much money, you don't want it? It was this little hesitation that made the caravan people find a gap and fire all the way through.

The mountain road is rugged and difficult to walk, Xiao Letian is now as tired as a dog, although he is also in the assault team of four people, but he can only be regarded as an indiscriminate person, and he doesn't know where to hit when he occasionally fires two shots. The sky is getting darker and darker, and there are large stones under his feet, Xiao Letian has already fallen several big heels, and at first someone helped him up, but then the scene became more and more chaotic, and no one cared about him at all.

More than a hundred people gathered together and ran up the mountain, it was still a dark night, and after a while, the circle that had gathered together had already run away, dragging like a worm to the north, almost all of them were listening to the footsteps of the people in front of them.

On both sides of the ranks, bandits rushed in from time to time, and many of them were hacked to death by the enemy in the dark, and the screams were endless. Fortunately, the darkness also limited the bandits' movements, and these scattered attacks could not stop everyone's footsteps.

"Oh, I'm cāo......" Xiao Letian stepped on the air again, he couldn't remember how many times he had fallen, and his head was bruised. At this moment, suddenly two women's voices came from behind him, "Ugly, do you still have pain in your legs, can you still walk?"

When Xiao Letian heard that this was not the old shopkeeper's daughter Hu Niu? He quickly looked back carefully, and by the light of nothingness, he vaguely found that Hu Niu was supporting his little yellow-haired girl by the edge of a stone. It's bad, how can you stop at this time, the two little girls are looking for death.

"Hurry, hurry...... What are you two doing?don't die, you can't stop if your leg is broken......" Xiao Letian lowered his voice and touched it.

"Is it Brother Xiao?" Tiger Niu was excited at the time, "Ah Ugly fell and probably injured her foot, can you carry her?" Xiao Lotian was anxious and angry, and said that my head was knocked into Indian Ah San, and I didn't see anyone to carry me, do you really think this is your family?

But there is no way, it is not Xiao Letian's character to see death and not save him, he didn't say anything, squatted down, "Hurry up, hurry up, climb up......" As a result, I didn't expect the little girl to twist up, "Miss, he's a man......"

Damn, when have you been thinking about this? You are an ugly monster who has not developed well at the age of thirteen or fourteen, and you actually have the heart to think about what kind of men and women are going to do? But at this moment's hesitation, a figure suddenly flew out of the darkness on the right.

"There is a woman here, it must be the young lady of the Fan family! Catch the ...... alive" The black shadow pounced on the ugly like a hungry wolf, and the frightened ugly head tilted and actually fainted. Xiao Letian is so angry in his heart, your little girl is not on my back, so she is waiting for a man to push it down?

The bandit miscalculated, he thought it was the young lady who was being served, but it turned out to be a little maid who fell down. Hu Niu was standing next to her, this girl was definitely the most personalized young lady in the Qing Dynasty, and this temperament was too barbaric, before Xiao Letian could see it clearly, I saw a cold light flashing in her hand, and a silver hairpin was fiercely inserted into the back of the bandit, "You let go of Ugly, you big villain......"

Xiao Lotian was dumbfounded, the delicate one was the maid, and the one who didn't let the women shave the eyebrows was actually a young lady? But now is not the time to be in a daze, the mountain temple in the north has been lit up with the light of torches, Qing Sanye and Lewis must have arrived, now the bandits' outflanking army will definitely not be far away, and if you waste any more time, you will find death.

Xiao Letian gritted his teeth, took out the dagger in his arms ruthlessly, and pounced, "Do ......you want to kill me?"

The blood had already gushed out, and although it was invisible, Xiao Lotian could feel the stickiness in his palm. The dagger stabbed the back of the heart, piercing the heart with a knife, and the bandit kicked his leg several times in a row, and before he even shouted, he vomited blood.

Xiao Lotian was about to collapse, but he was still insisting, he overturned the corpse, picked up the ugly, and roared "......" He actually carried the ugly on his shoulders like carrying a pocket.

The tiger girl was already stupid, and he found that the man in front of him was as majestic as a mountain, and his black figure exuded an invincible temperament under the starlight. The tiger girl's eyes suddenly turned red, she wiped the corners of her eyes with her sleeve, and followed with a meteor in stride, following closely behind Xiao Letian.

Poor Xiao Letian, let alone carrying a person in his last life, he didn't even carry a gas tank and rice. Don't look at the muscles on his body that are bulging and very fit, they are all trained from the gym, typical pickle girl muscles. really let him carry a big living person to climb the mountain, I guess I will be tired and sweaty when I think about it.

But the potential of man in a desperate situation is limitless. Looking at the torches more than fifty meters away, it is the hope of life, and listening to the tsunami-like shouts of battle behind you, it is the threat of death. Xiao Lotian actually really survived, and his legs took a big stride, and the meteor actually walked extremely steadily.

When Xiao Lotian walked into the range of the torch's light, Qing Sanye and the old shopkeeper even Lewis looked stupid. At this time, Xiao Letian was really a hero, he was carrying the unconscious ugly girl on his left shoulder, and his right arm was holding the armpit of the tiger girl.

A big man carrying a woman and holding a woman, who has ever seen this diorama? This is the third year of Tongzhi, when Confucianism is the harshest time, can a woman still live if she loses her name?

The shopkeeper Fan was almost stunned, he jumped out and rushed straight to Xiao Letian, "Bastards, you bastards...... The old shopkeeper went to Xiao Letian, but it was not Xiao Lotian who he scolded, the old man beat the guys around him like a tiger into a flock.

"I have fed you for nothing, Miss is in trouble, you don't even help any of you, you ...... eat for nothing" It was only at this time that Xiao Le found out that he was not rushing over alone, and there were actually five or six guys around him.

Confused, this is tired and stunned. You really can't blame this group of guys, how can they still have the energy to pay attention to the things around them when they are life and death. Even Xiao Letian himself didn't expect that there were companions around, and at that moment he only had the mountain temple in his eyes, only the light of the torches.

However, it is not wrong for the shopkeeper Fan to be in a hurry, in that society at that time, if his own guy saved the young lady, although some people gossip, but there is more or less humility to cover it. It's not a violation of etiquette to save your own lady from a guy, but it's impossible to tell an outsider to hug him like this.

The old shopkeeper didn't dare to lose his temper on Xiao Letian's head, so he could only punch and kick this group of guys who didn't have long eyes.

When Xiao Lotian settled the two girls in the temple, he yelled at the old shopkeeper, "Okay, just hit it twice, it's all your buddies here, and Qing Sanye is not an outsider, what are you afraid of? Go back and give everyone a little hush money, who can still chew their tongues? Now the most important thing is to block the bandits, you ...... listen?"

The scene immediately fell silent, and from the darkness below the hillside came a sound like a tsunami of mountains and a tsunami, and the frightened birds of the mountains fled in all directions.

"This is a bandit mobilizing before the war, and there are more than two hundred voices to hear......" Qing Sanye's face turned bitter at that time, he looked at the frightened guys and soldiers around him and sighed, "Now we don't even have a hundred people under our hands, how can we resist it......"

Xiao Lotian looked around, and he realized that nearly 20 more caravan members had disappeared in this breakout, apparently dead on the hillside, and half of the rest were hung up, most of them were broken.

"Mr. Lewis, what should you Americans do if you Americans are in such a predicament?" Xiao Letian asked.

"I'm sorry, I don't quite understand the fighting habits of you Orientals, I just counted it, except for the five Colts in the hands of the three of us, there are only ten muskets left that you call shotguns. Since there are 200 bandits on the other side, I can only pessimistically think that we will lose ......."

"But don't worry, as an American, I will resist until the last moment, and I will not surrender until I shoot my last bullet......"

Pull it down, you Americans just love to dream, dream of being a hero every day, and still want to surrender? Do you really think that this kind of bandit who does not declare war and robs according to the rules of the road will want you as a prisoner? Xiao Letian shook his head and did not say what was in his heart.

But at this moment, suddenly there was a dense bowstring sound from the bottom of the hillside, and Qing Sanye pounced on the old shopkeeper beside him at that time, "Lie down, hide, the bandits shoot arrows...... Before the words fell, a hail-like arrow was shot on the ground.

Xiao Letian experienced a bow and arrow salvo for the first time, he cowered on the inside of the mud wall to avoid the attack of the bow and arrow, and in the courtyard, several men with weak legs and feet had been crucified to the ground, and blood flowed like a stream.

"The enemy actually has more than 100 bows and arrows? What kind of bandit is this, how can there be so many strong bows...... Qing Sanye is knowledgeable, and the Qing Dynasty government's ban on bows and arrows is the same as the ban on guns in the later Celestial Empire. Even the hunters who make a living by hunting are at most just a bamboo bow, this kind of long-range weapon in the era of cold weapons, and it is already very rebellious for bandits to have a few of them.

But today, Qing Sanye suddenly discovered that this wave of bandits actually had more than a hundred strong bows, and this battle was impossible to fight.

The salvo of bows and arrows lasted only four rounds, and more than 400 feathered arrows had already planted the mountain temple like a reed. Just as the feather arrow attack stopped, a fierce shout of killing suddenly came from the darkness outside the mountain gate, and the bandits finally began to charge.

"The bandits touched it, shoot arrows, shoot them, and knock them back for me...... Qing Sanye roared, stood up and leaned against the half-low wall, swishing is a quick shot, and the ancestral riding bow made him play with great joy.

Now there is no one in the caravan who is afraid, they look at the bandits rushing in the dark and know that if they don't fight hard, they will die, and for a while, the shotguns shoot arrows and arrows indiscriminately, and those who don't have a guy in their hands directly hit them with stones. But in this way, it still did not stop the tide of bandits, and when there were a few muffled noises and fires from the bandits, Shopkeeper Fan was going crazy at that time.

"Oh no, the bandits don't just have bows and arrows, they also have shotguns......"
