Chapter Twenty-Eight: Mountain Bandits Attack Soldiers Descend on the City
"Little doll, I think you're tired of being alive!" The white-bearded old man was lucky with his palms, and he was about to teach the young man in front of him a lesson. The surrounding monks stepped aside and watched happily as the young man was beaten.
"Hey, what do you have to do with young people!" the sharpening man stood up and patted the white-bearded old man on the shoulder, "Don't let others see the joke."
The white-bearded old man snorted coldly and put away his aura, turned around and ignored it.
Qi ~ It's boring, Wang Wenwen shook his head, originally he thought that the old man really wanted to do it, and he just happened to try to see if he would be as embarrassed as before when he was in the upper cultivation base realm.
After such a commotion, the monks did not have the interest to continue laughing, and walked back to their places to meditate and breathe.
In a hut, some people go to bed early, some people intensify their cultivation, and some people have no sleep all night. People's hearts are different, and each has its own attitude.
The next day, all the monks went out to check because of the sound of footsteps outside the door, and when Wang Wenwen rubbed his head and went out, the white smoke was already at the door. Outside the City Lord's Mansion, hundreds of armor soldiers stood in unison, and the City Lord Wang slowly walked out of the City Lord's Mansion, waved his hand at the armor soldiers, and more than 500 armor soldiers turned around and ran towards the city tower.
"Everyone, why don't you go around the city wall with Wang. City Lord Wang didn't look at the monks anymore, with his hands behind his back, he led Ma Ling, the partial general who assassinated the middle-aged monk with a shot yesterday, to follow the armor and walk towards the city tower without hurrying.
"Let's go. Wang Wenwen called Bai Yanru, he had already understood, if he didn't listen to the city lord's instructions, he might have to let people slaughter him, and it was even more impossible to escape, according to the posture of this group of armor soldiers, not to mention whether they could break out of the encirclement of the armor soldiers, even if they rushed out? The number of mountain bandits who killed people outside without blinking was twice as many as the armor soldiers in the city! In the final analysis, he and Bai Yanru only need to drag the mountain bandits below the Xiuji Realm, and they are naturally no problem, as for Bai Yanru~Will there be few life-saving things on the daughters of big families who dare to come out alone? Anyway, Wang Wenwen doesn't believe it. Coming and going, on the contrary, it is safer in this Bazhong city.
The castle tower was full of armor warriors, and a group of monks followed the lord of the city to the tower, which was filled with rolling logs, and the fire torches on the city wall dispelled the remaining darkness.
In the middle of summer, the sun rises early, and a touch of the morning sun disperses the last bit of darkness on the horizon, and a puff of smoke and dust rolls up on the mountain not far away, and a row of black shadows under the morning sun rolls in the smoke and dust.
Everyone looked at the mountain bandits rolling in, and their hearts tightened. If the smoke and dust of this posture are not a large number of horses, you can't step out of this posture just by relying on people! You must know that although there are many monks in this world, the main force of the imperial dynasty is still the army, since the war relies on the army, the war horses are naturally strictly controlled, although Bazhong City is the last city outside the Qianqing Dynasty, but the number of cavalry is only three hundred, plus the plague in the imperial city at this time, all the cavalry have already rushed to the imperial city.
City Lord Wang pressed against the stone wall, his hands trembling lightly and clenched. Obviously, this upcoming group of mountain bandits obviously exceeded his expectations, and he never expected that the number of private horses in a cottage mountain bandit would be more than that of Bazhong City!
"All of you, all of you!" the tower trumpeters ran back and forth, shouting orders.
The smoke and dust rolled to the city, and when the dust gradually dissipated, the four hundred mountain bandits lined up on horses, and a group of jujube red horses slowly walked out in the middle, and immediately the man walked in front of the mountain bandits with a one-eyed knife.
"Wang Jingchi! I've thought about you for half a month!What do you think!" The man pointed to the cavalry behind him, "I, Hu Kui, only brought these four hundred people today!
"Hmph! Hu Da's face is too big! Wang can't catch it!"
"Hahahaha!" Hu Kui laughed when he heard Wang Cheng's words, "Okay! Don't say that Hu Kui won't give you a chance! After noon, the brothers of the village will attack the city!"
After Hu Kui finished speaking, he didn't stay any longer, turned his horse's head and walked back to the team, the smoke and dust rolled by, and a group of cavalry left in the morning sun.
After Wang Jingchi got off the city tower, he went straight back to his house to discuss military affairs with the soldiers, and the monks did not go back to the house together, so they found a tavern nearby to eat early.
"Brothers, do you have any ideas?" a monk asked worriedly, "I think the posture of that mountain bandit is more terrifying than that of the armor in the city, isn't it to be sent to death if you keep it?"
"What, you still want to run?" the middle-aged monk picked up a fritter, "There are mountain bandits outside, how can you run?"
"Or ...... Shall we vote?" asked a young monk beside Wang Wenwen in a low voice, "How about you still have a life." “
Zhang Daniu, who was dressed as a crop man, slapped the table angrily and stood up: "Grandma's, I want to vote for you! I am so young and spineless! Bazhong City is my home! I will stop the king of heaven when Lao Tzu comes!"
"Hey, hey, don't worry, Brother Zhang, let's not vote. The knife sharpener squinted and took a sip of soy milk, and a mouthful of soy milk flowed out of the corners of his mouth and onto his stubble-covered chin.
The man who sharpened the knife wiped his chin and said slowly, "Not to mention anything else, even if it is really captured, how long do you think this mountain bandit can occupy here?" In Yuanguan is the king of Zhenxi, and when he sends troops, if we are absolutely detained for a big crime of treason! Live a few more days and be scolded for hundreds of years? Can monks grow their brains?"
Wang Wenwen and Bai Yanru didn't mix in with them while eating noodles, they only felt that what the knife sharpener said was quite reasonable, and couldn't help but nod.
Just as everyone was saying yes, a soldier ran into the tavern and arched his hand towards everyone: "A few strong men, the city lord invites you to go to the city lord's mansion to talk." ”
When Wang Wenwen and his entourage arrived at the City Lord's Mansion, dozens of soldiers walked out of the door with sad faces, sighing again and again, and they didn't know what Wang Jingchi had just discussed.
"Ladies and gentlemen...... I have bad news for you. Wang Jingchi frowned and looked at the people in front of him, "According to the news from the scout just now, the eighteen mountain bandits don't know what means they used, and now five of the ten Qi Cultivation Realm mountain bandits have broken through to the cultivation foundation realm. It's more difficult for you to contain again. ”
The monks were stunned for a long time when they heard this, the strongest among them was the white-bearded old man, but he was only cultivating the middle grade of the foundation, and there were only eight people in the lower grade of the cultivation base realm, and the remaining twenty-five people were all in the Qi cultivation realm.
Wang Jingchi saw that the monks looked embarrassed, and hurriedly said: "Everyone helps each other, Wang has his own gratitude, after retreating from the enemy, he will report to the imperial city, and you will definitely be rewarded." ”
When everyone was still showing bitterness on their faces, a brocade-robed boy and a woman in white in the crowd stepped forward and arched their hands: "The king of Baiya City will do his best to help!" "Lingxi Dao is as white as smoke and will do his best to help!"
With Wang Wenwen and Bai Ruyan taking the lead, it was difficult for the monks to refuse, and most of them were already middle-aged, could they still lose their courage to a young man in his teens and twenties?
"Okay, good, you know the great righteousness, Bazhong City will remember your great kindness!" Wang Jingchi was overjoyed when he saw that all the monks had agreed, and he did not forget to nod to Wang Wenwen and Bai Ruyan, and cast a look of approval.
After everyone had lunch under Wang Jingchi's hospitality, they were meditating in the room and pranayama, Wang Jingchi pushed open the door: "Everyone, come with me to the city tower." ”
The sun is like fire, the stone slabs on the city tower are hot as if they are roasted by fire, the yellow sand is full of sky in the distance, everyone is condensed, this formation is much more terrifying than that in the early morning. When the armor soldiers saw the yellow sand, they turned around and prepared crossbow arrows and rolling wood, and the hot water in dozens of iron pots was boiling hot.
Everyone's hearts tightened. More than 2,000 mountain bandits under the city set up a formation, and eighteen tall and burly mountain bandits all rode jujube red horses and stood in front of the team.
"That's them!" Wang Jingchi said to Wang Wenwen and the others, "If they make a move, you just need to help me stop them, the three in armor are all in the Jiedan Realm, just leave it to us, and the rest of you greet carefully." ”
Hu Kui didn't say anything to Wang Jingchi again, he pointed at the city gate and shouted, "Siege!"
The front row of mountain bandits carried the wooden shield in front of them and rushed towards the city tower, for a time the bow and arrow on the city tower were like rain, the mountain bandits had not yet rushed straight to the city gate had fallen nearly 100 people, boiling water, long wood rolled down, and the menacing mountain bandits were helpless for a while.
"Grandma's, I usually raise a bunch of waste!" A fat man among the mountain bandits scolded and rode a war horse into the battlefield, "Let Lao Tzu come!"
Before the fat man could rush through the crowd, a black figure struck from above, with a flash of silver light, and the two big knives collided together, and sparks flew in an instant.
"Hmph! Lao Tzu, Bashan Lao Jiu, who are you!"
The black figure fell, and it turned out to be the man who sharpened the knife, shaking his shoulders and grinning: "Hey, hey, the rivers and lakes are scattered to cultivate Qin Hangu." ”
"Don't worry, I'll help you!" "Brother Jiu!"
The two figures rushed in unison, and when they were about to reach Qin Hangu, the two gangs stopped the two of them, Wang Wenwen jumped down from the city tower and stood beside Qin Hangu, exchanging glances towards Qin Hangu: "Go up together?"
"Hey, hey, come on!"
For a while, the five figures were entangled together, and the remaining mountain bandits were about to volunteer forward, and just after riding a few steps, thirty-two monks jumped down from the city, and all stood behind Wang Wenwen and Qin Hangu.
"Don't move! all go back!" Hu Kui looked coldly at the city lord on the city tower, "Wang Jingchi really has you! It's very powerful to invite so many monks! I'll see how long these monks can stay here! Brothers, withdraw!"
Hu Kui waved his hand, and the mountain bandits in front of him ran backwards, Wang Wenwen and the others did not fight with them anymore, and sold a flaw to open the distance, and the three mountain bandits snorted coldly and turned their horses' heads to catch up with Hu Kui.
"Hahahaha! Thank you so much for your help today, I forced back the mountain bandits without being injured in Bazhong City, all thanks to you!" Wang Jingchi held a banquet in the city lord's mansion, and thirty-four monks toasted Wang Jingchi one after another.
"City Lord Wang, at this time, the old man doesn't want to spoil everyone's interest. When the banquet was hot, the white-bearded old man stroked his beard, "Although the mountain bandits retired today, but the mountain bandits are still there for a day, can we not leave for a day?
"It's not that Wang hasn't thought about this problem. Wang Jingchi put down his wine glass and sighed, "Wait for the time being, see if there is a chance to retreat from the enemy." ”
The original joyful banquet was disturbed by this question, and the group lost interest, and everyone left the second half of the banquet one after another.
