Chapter 50: The Price of Arrogance

In the early morning of the next day, Wang Baoshan led his team to return to the barracks after inspecting the outer mountains of Heifengling and replacing the matter with other men and horses.

After having breakfast with all the soldiers, he settled his men, and then went back to his barracks to rest.

After staying in the cold night all night, Wang Baoshan was cold and sleepy, and as soon as he lay down on the bed, the whole person fell asleep deeply. This night, he slept in a dark night, so that the Black Wind Army had been waiting for the battle, and he was delayed.

At noon, in the icy sun, in a valley northeast of the Black Wind Ridge, there was a lot of people, and nearly a thousand people gathered densely.

The leader was Zhang Kai, who led all the gangs of the Axe Hall to advance towards the depths of the valley.

They are dressed in different robes, some brocade coats and large leather jackets, some cotton robes and cotton boots, and some are nondescript mixes and matches, which makes people look funny, anyway, they can wear how comfortable they are.

These people also have all kinds of weapons in their hands, all kinds of swords, guns and sticks. There are even people who are armed with pig-killing knives, and it doesn't seem like they're going to fight, but they're going to kill pigs.

It was a cold day, and the mountains were difficult to walk, but when they walked, they were even more disorderly, bustling, and stop-and-go.

Everyone did not have the nervousness of killing the enemy, but a kind of self-ease, talking and laughing, and joking with each other from time to time, which caused the others next to them to laugh for a while.

"His grandma drops... On such a cold day, he still ran out to confess, I really don't know what is going on with the big boss..."

"That's right... Before I slept well, I was pulled up in the middle of the night and walked so far... "The man who spoke, Hatcher, was still complaining.

"Do you think we can beat it?"

"Who knows! His grandmother will beat if she can beat it, and run away if she can't beat it!"

"Haha......" I don't know who said this sentence, which caused the people around to laugh for a while.

At this time, Zhang Kai, riding a tall horse, was walking in the team, and the whole person was lazily playing Hache, looking like he hadn't slept well.

Niu Xisheng rode to his side, the exact opposite of him, looking around with a nervous face. He looked at the open look, wanted to say something, but didn't know how to speak, and he wanted to speak several times.

"Niu is in charge, do you have any concerns?" Tian Zhengguo, who was dressed in military uniforms next to him, skillfully drove a Humvee-shaped horse, and dozens of well-equipped guards around him followed closely behind him on the ice and snow, without leaving the left and right. At this time, he seemed majestic and high-spirited. Li Yifeng did not come today, he came to supervise the battle on behalf of Li Yifeng.

"I always feel a little bad premonition..."Niu Xisheng looked worried.

"What's there to worry about, there are just some bandits and robbers on the Black Wind Ridge, there are so many of us, are we still afraid..."

"Originally, there were not many people in the village, but I know that we have an absolute advantage in terms of numbers...... But now, months later, it's not clear if there are any variables..."

"A gang of mountain and wild thieves, what kind of climate can they have, how can they compete with a big gang like the Axe Palace..."After Tian Zhengguo finished speaking, he waved his horsewhip in a dashing manner, wanting to have a horse whip. But there were guards surrounding the front and back, left and right, affecting the play, and finally had to give up.

Niu Xisheng didn't talk again, just smiled bitterly, he was a person who followed Zhang Kai and Zhang Beidou in the early years, and he was a person who had been killed for a long time, so he naturally knew the situation of Heifengzhuang better than anyone else. After leaving with Zhang Kai, I also learned from some people that after Wang Qiang sat in the first place in Heifeng Village, many of the original Zhuang people walked and scattered... It's not a climate anymore.

After walking through this valley and bypassing the two mountains, you can see the Zhuangzi of Heifeng Village, which if there were people in the village before, they would have come out to stop it.

But now, this huge team of people came to attack, but no figure appeared, it seems that the previous speculation was true.

Thinking of this, Niu Xisheng's nervous heart relaxed.

Looking at the two sides of the valley, there are strange rocky cliffs, and the ice and snow on the ground are frozen hard, and when they walk, their feet slip, making everyone scold.

Moreover, the further he went, the narrower the valley became, and when only five or six people could walk side by side, Niu Xisheng immediately ordered the team, formed a column, and slowly advanced forward.

But as he walked, suddenly, there was a commotion from the front. Tian Zhengguo looked up and found that in the valley in front of him, there was a tall log earthen wall.

This wooden wall, several feet high, just blocked the way to the valley, and the advancing team had to stop.

"What's going on?" Tian Zhengguo looked at the wooden wall and asked Niu Xisheng suspiciously.

"This wooden wall didn't exist before, this is ......" Niu Xisheng was also full of incredulity.

"Brush... Instigate... Instigated..."

Before they could react, rows of arrows and crossbows shot down from the wooden wall, densely packed, like raindrops into the open ranks.

Suddenly, screams rang out, and people turned on their backs. Just now, there were laughing Axe Hall gangs, at this time they were in chaos, and under the desire to survive, they couldn't care about the comfort of their companions, and they ran back and forth desperately without waiting for Zhang Kai to give an order.

All of a sudden, people pushed people, people stepped on people, and in a panic, there were countless casualties.

"Don't panic... Don't panic... Protect the big boss......" Niu Xisheng shouted, since he saw the wooden wall, he didn't expect it to be a good thing.

Because a few of them were in the middle of the team, just out of the range of the bow and arrow, although they had no worries about their lives for the time being, they were also numb and timid in the face of the chaotic situation.

After a rain of arrows, in the valley, on the snow. Hundreds of corpses lay in pools of blood, and those who did not fall are still fleeing for their lives.

Run, run, hide... They suddenly found that on the cliffs on both sides, there were countless stones and ice blocks, which were falling down in a disturbing manner. There was that bold man, looking up, he could see that the cliffs on both sides were full of people. Those people were carrying rocks and ice cubes and throwing them down.

In this way, countless people were killed and injured, and the small valley that was quiet just now suddenly turned into a devouring beast, and the unstoppable Axe Hall gang never dreamed that they would die in this nameless small valley today.

Most of them, before they could figure out what was going on, were stoned to death by rocks and ice cubes, and the death was extremely tragic.

At this time, Tian Zhengguo had already rolled off the horse, and under the desperate protection of the guards, he saved his life.

He didn't care about anything else, and ran and ran until he couldn't run anymore, and then he was so tired that he sat down in the snow, gasping for air.

At this moment, his whole body was like falling into blood and just crawling out, soaked with blood.

I don't know if it's his own blood or someone else's, it looks like it's embarrassing. Compared with him before, he was really like two people, and he couldn't see any other look on his face except for horror.

"Lord Tian, are you okay?" a guard on the side, blocking his side, was also full of horror.

Tian Zhengguo and the others eased their breath and looked at the person in front of him, he was horrified to find that there was only one person left among the dozens of guards who followed him, and he couldn't help but sigh in his heart: "This life is over..."

"Master Tian, let's go......" Just when Tian Zhengguo was about to close his eyes and wait for death, Niu Xisheng hit the horse and galloped.

When he arrived, he bent down sharply, pulled Tian Zhengguo onto his horse, and then spurred the horse and galloped away.

It was Zhang Kai who followed Niu Xisheng, and at this time, he was drenched in blood on his left shoulder, and it seemed that he was very unfortunate and was injured by rolling rocks.

"Come back to the city, I didn't think we were all tricked......" Zhang Kai saw that the general trend had gone, so he hurriedly opened his voice, rode a horse, and shouted while running, although the voice was loud, but few people heard it.

At this moment, all kinds of screams and shouts, the sound of stones and ice falling down, and the sound of crowds fleeing...... Wait, noisy and noisy, the valley seems to have exploded, and the scene is chaotic.

There were bloody corpses everywhere, and many, many unlucky ghosts who were dying, lying in the pile of dead, struggling and begging for their lives.

The people who fled for their lives cared for their lives, and no one paid attention to them. The brotherhood of the past, as if at this moment, has become worthless.

Maybe it's because everyone is very sorry for their lives!

After a while, snowflakes drifted in the sky, and soon it became goose feather snow and drifted down.

The stones and ice above the valley also stopped falling, and the valley was surrounded by only snowflakes flying in the sky, except for miserable cries and groans.

This battle was really aggrieved and tragic, and less than half of the nearly 1,000 people of the Axe Hall Gang could go back alive, and there were not 1,000 wounded, but 800.

The open left shoulder was injured by a stone, and after returning to the axe hall in the city, he asked people to bandage it briefly, then hid in the warm pavilion and continued to mess with the beautiful concubines.

Niu Xisheng can't stop him like this. had to pack up and stop, accompanied Tian Zhengguo, and went to the Nancheng Shouwei's Mansion, and they wanted to report the battle situation to Li Yiyi.

After Li Yiyi learned about it, he didn't react much, he still looked cold, and he didn't blame anyone. In the end, he sent the two of them away without saying a word, and did not arrange what to do next, so he directly let them go back.

After Niu Xisheng went back, Tian Zhengguo was also ready to go home, and halfway through, he turned back again, intending to talk to Li Yiyi about his views again.

After all, this battle was really aggrieved, and he didn't even see the face of the enemy, so he was defeated and fled. Tian Zhengguo's heart was depressed, and he wanted to talk to Li Yiyi, but Niu Xi was born just now, and it was inconvenient to say a lot of things.

At this time, the sky had begun to darken, and Tian Zhengguo stepped on the snow and braved the wind and snow, planning to enter the Shouwei Mansion in Nancheng again.

"Bang bang..." knocked on the door several times one after another, but no one came to open the door. Tian Zhengguo couldn't help but be a little annoyed, and said in his heart where did all the people in this mansion go, but no one came to open the door for him, which was really unseemly.

knocked on half of the salary, but no one came to open the door, so Tian Zhengguo had to give up. If you really want to get in, there are many ways, but if you do that, first, you are afraid of annoying Li Yiyi, and second, your identity is not ordinary, how can you do those obscene things that climb over the wall and pick up the courtyard.

Thinking about it, he couldn't help but regret his reckless behavior, what happened to him, could it be that he was frightened today, why didn't he give up?

In the end, Tian Zhengguo had no choice but to go back to his house first, and it was not too late to come to Li Yifeng tomorrow. On the way back, he recalled what he had experienced that day, and he couldn't help but have a lot of thoughts. In just half a day's effort, he became a little dazed, and he no longer had the confidence he had before, and the sense of superiority that he was proud of.

"Smack..." a soft sound suddenly caught his attention. In the gray and misty snow, a black shadow, like a cat, galloped quickly on the ridge of the eaves.

Tian Zhengguo was surprised in his heart, he saw that the black shadow was clearly coming from the side of the Nancheng Shouwei Mansion, and said in his heart I don't do that shameless deed, you kid is so bold, you dare to go to the Shouwei Mansion to steal things, see if I don't take you, go to the Shouwei Mansion to subjugate the law.

Looking for the direction where the black shadow was gone, Tian Zhengguo followed quietly with the flying snowflakes one foot at a time. Fortunately, the shadow didn't run far, climbed over the roofs of several houses, and finally jumped into a deserted house.

Tian Zhengguo also came to the outside of the deserted house, here and now, except for the snowflakes wrapped in the cold wind, whining outside the heaven and earth, there was no one in all directions, secluded and barren.

Such a scene can't help but make Tian Zhengguo feel a little panicked. Just as he was looking for the low wall and about to rush in, someone seemed to be talking in the courtyard.

"Have you had enough, come with me somewhere..."

Tian Zhengguo was a little familiar with this voice, but he couldn't remember who it was for a while. Suppressing his panicked heart, he found a hole in the courtyard wall, and raised his eyes to look inside, trying to figure out what was going on inside.

In the deserted house, a thick layer of snow has accumulated, and for a while, people can't see the original dilapidated appearance. Under the white snow, I saw a black shadow, standing in the open space of the courtyard, and a little girl doll next to her.

Look at the little girl doll again, it is like a pink carving, cute and exquisite, and she is born with an unusually good-looking appearance.

It's strange to say that on such a cold and snowy day, the female doll was only wearing a belly pocket, with bare pink shoulders, standing barefoot on the snow, Yanran didn't know the warmth and cold.

Before Tian Zhengguo could take a closer look, the black shadow suddenly opened his arms, hugged the female doll in his arms, and then lifted the black robe and wrapped it, and the female doll disappeared.

Then, around the black shadow, there was a burst of disturbing black mist, and after the cold wind blew, then along with his whole person, also disappeared without a trace.

This made Tian Zhengguo frightened, and he almost screamed.

The female doll reminded him of his cousin Tian Ling's words, it turned out that there was really that ghostly female ghost doll!

And the dark shadow, he also recognized who it was, but he didn't dare to think about it.

For this, the sudden discovery made his head dazed, and after thinking about it, he had a result in his heart, but he couldn't accept this result.
