Chapter 158: The City of Fraud
In the barren mountains, Zhou Tai looked around at the excited crowd, and his sword eyebrows frowned slightly: "How many people and horses are there here in the stone forest?" "Master, there are eighty-one people left in us, not counting you and Mrs. Master!" Shi Lin thought for a moment and replied
"Eighty-one? There are too few of these people, if the Tanzhong County Commander knows that we have killed his captain, he will be furious and chase him, and you will disarm and clean the equipment and quickly change to see me! Zhou Tai thought of Fang Cai Shilin's words, and walked away with Qin Liangyu and the others with some embarrassment.
There was a cry in the jungle: "Master! Shi Lin came to Zhou Tai with a new look, and a bewitching fire came from the foot of the mountain in the distance, like a red dragon illuminating the barren mountain.
"Has the abomination been discovered? Get out of here! The group ran to the foot of the back mountain under the leadership of Zhou Tai, "You guys, hurry up, if the thieves who killed Masun Duwei escape, the adults will blame you and wait for An to live?" A fierce man rode his horse and scolded angrily.
"Huh? I didn't expect that there were also officers and soldiers here, but fortunately, there were not many of them! Zhou Taiyi took the lead and killed the man on horseback, "En? Thieves are here, come on! An officer and soldier saw Zhou Tai rushing towards him and hurriedly shouted.
Zhou Tai went straight to the big man, and the double knife disappeared in an instant, and the big man fell down and the officers and soldiers were so frightened that they fled in all directions, "Go!" Braving the night, he hurried towards Guilin, and met with Brother Xiang Yu not far behind him.
Not long after Zhou Tai fled from here, the fire of the brigade rushed here, and the leader couldn't help but roar when he saw the headless corpse lying in a pool of blood, "Waste! You wastes so many people to let less than 100 thieves escape, is this the strength of the Jiaozhou Army? A certain family has finally gained a long insight! "Enough! Sun Yun is not Bushan here, and it is not your turn to point fingers here! A man beside Sun Yun said with a gloomy face, and shouted with extreme dissatisfaction.
When Sun Yun saw this person speaking, he had to shut up stupidly: "You idiots, don't give this official to chase!" This official wants to break them into pieces! When everyone heard this, they chased Zhou Tai and others in the direction of their escape.
Zhou Tai, who was walking in front of the team, stopped without warning: "There are very few horses waiting for us, most of them are still on foot, if we escape like this, we will definitely be caught up by the officers and soldiers!" "Master, what should I do?" Hearing this, Zhou Tai fell into deep thought, looked around, "En! Come with me! "Go to the dense forest on the official road" to lie down on the horse, cover the horse's mouth with clothing, distinguish the footprints of some people in the future tense, and sweep away the traces with branches! ”
When Zhou Tai and the others were all ready, they saw the sound of horses' hooves coming from a distance, "Hurry up and follow behind, the thieves should be not far ahead" A big man shouted loudly, Shi Lin's body in the grass trembled slightly and panted, a strong palm firmly pressed the other party, Shi Lin looked to the side
I saw Zhou Tai staring at the official road for a moment, and only got up when he saw the last officer and soldier disappear from sight, "Shi Lin, I understand the mood, don't worry, this person won't live long!" When Shi Lin heard this, his eyes widened, and his body trembled violently: "The master knows his mistake!" ”
"Let's go! After a long chase by the officers and soldiers, they will definitely find that we have not rushed to Guilin, and they will come back to find it carefully, and everyone will accelerate towards Tanzhong City," Zhou Tai rode a war horse and rode in the direction of Tanzhong City.
"Yu!" The big man suddenly stopped, the galloping horses turned to look around at the people who were panting, "Wang Er, are you sure those thieves are fleeing here?" When the person who was called heard this, he trembled and replied, "Adults and children have seen those thieves who are indeed fleeing here!" ”
Hearing this, Dahan's brows furrowed even deeper: "Not good! I'm going to get back soon! The big man suddenly shouted and turned the horse to the official road, and everyone complained helplessly to follow, at this time Zhou Tai and others had already gone to Tanzhong City on the way.
The lights in the city lord's mansion in Tanzhong City were bright, and Zhang Tian looked at Zhang Ren kneeling in the hall, "The lord's letterhead, this county order has been read, but it can only send 1,500 elite soldiers to support!" Hearing this, Zhang Ren suddenly raised his head: "Lord Zhang, please borrow more people from my family!" "Bastard thing! How can you control the things decided by this official, but then again, the lord shrinks his troops and horses and gathers in Bushan, doesn't Tanzhong City need soldiers and horses to guard it? If those thieves attack Tanzhong City, wouldn't the official sit on the ground and wait for death to support the only officers and soldiers who are there? ”
"Lord Zhang! My lord said that if you can borrow more soldiers, you will definitely send ten thousand taels of gold, ten beautiful women, and five hundred pieces of cloth in the future! Zhang Ren said unhurriedly, Zhang Tian heard this, his eyes flashed, and he smiled, "Haha!" Everyone is doing things for the lord, since the lord has integrated the soldiers and horses and said to the official, the official must help and send something, what the lord Zhang Ren said is true! ”
"What Mr. Zhang said is true!" "Good official will send only 3,000 soldiers to send 2,500, leaving 500 people to guard Tanzhong City, don't forget the promise of the lord in the future, this official is here to wait for good news!"
Hearing this, Zhang Ren nodded and agreed, leading 2,500 soldiers to leave Tanzhong City and rush to Bushan City, the official road leading to Tanzhong City, Zhou Tai saw dust in the distance: "Everyone, hide!" A team of men and horses rushed to Bushan City, looking at the disappeared people and horses, they couldn't help but wipe their faces, "Those people and horses should be the defenders of Tanzhong City, and now that so many people are dispatched, I am afraid that the defenders in the city have been sharply reduced, so be sure to arrive at Tanzhong City before the defenders come back!" ”
"Open the gates!" A team of men and horses appeared in front of the gate of Tanzhong City in the dark night, and the captain of the city guard team saw that there were less than 100 people under the city, wearing Jiaozhou military uniforms, and asked, "Who are you waiting for?" It's getting dark
There is no order from the adults, so you can only open the city gate tomorrow and rest outside the city for one night! ”
"Presumptuous! A certain family is the captain of Tanzhong City, Ma Sun, who returned from suppressing bandits on the orders of Lord Zhang, if you delay the important things of the official, be careful and wait for the dog's life! Sun Wei said sharply
The officers and soldiers in the city hesitated when they heard this, and Zhou Tai, who bowed his head slightly, saw this, his sword eyebrows frowned slightly, and he glanced at Sun Wei, who would understand: "Bastard thing!" How can this official postpone his important business, go and call Lord Zhang, this official wants to see how Lord Zhang will deal with you! When the officers and soldiers in the city heard this, they no longer hesitated: "Open the city gate!" The city gate slowly opened, and everyone smiled hideously when they saw this, "Kill!" A group of people brandished weapons and killed the confused officers and soldiers.
For a while, the screams were screaming at this time, and the officers and soldiers in the city were suddenly blinded when they saw this, just like a lamb to be slaughtered by Zhou Tai and others, and the door of Zhang Tianfu, who was sleeping, was knocked open heavily, "Lord Zhang is not good, the thieves are attacking Wancheng and are wantonly killing the officers and soldiers defending the city, and it won't be long before they will kill here!" Wang Liang, the governor of Tanzhong City, reported to Zhang Tian in fright.
Zhang Tian's little face turned pale with fright when he heard this, and his legs couldn't stop trembling: "Damn, I knew that this would be the case, so I shouldn't be obsessed with money, and prepare the horse quickly!" Seeing this, Wang Liang exclaimed, "Lord Zhang, don't do it!" These thieves are extremely ferocious, if you go, I'm afraid that there will be more than one luck! When Zhang Tian heard this, he kicked Wang Liang away, and scolded: "You idiot, how can this official go to death, now the thief is powerful, and if you don't run at this time, when will you wait?" He turned over his horse and ran towards the north gate
Zhou Tai looked at the red-eyed Shanyue who was killing the red-eyed man, raised his knife and slashed at the innocent civilians, and couldn't help but be furious: "Stop it!" The sound of thunder echoed in the air, and the murderous crowd was slightly stunned when they heard this, looked at the other party with gloomy faces, and unconsciously shivered and retreated.
"The hosts! Why make me wait! Shi Lin asked with some confusion: "Why did you wait?" Aren't you the cause of the Tao? Zhou Tai's voice became even colder when he heard this.
"My subordinates don't know!" "Is this how you are capable of swinging your sword at unarmed civilians to show your might?" Shi Lin was slightly stunned when he heard this, and looked at the deceased in civilian clothes in front of him, "Master, if we don't kill them, leave them alive, and report to the government, we will fall into a place of no return!" "Humph! What you said is not unreasonable, but it is difficult for these centaurs to slaughter the people of the whole city, and it is not good for the people of the whole city to resist and die at that time! Zhou Tai's words knocked heavily on everyone's hearts like a mountain.
"Master, what should I do?" "Stop the slaughter before they are disgusted, and only kill the corrupt officials and bullies, I think those poor people will not stop it, so why not arm ourselves with money, food, and equipment?" When the people heard this, they were delighted and worshipped, and they scattered... to be continued
