Chapter Forty-Eight: Hades Comes to the Door

Hongshan Water Village is full of torches, there is a lake and natural danger to rely on, there is no tension in the water village at all times, only a small number of scouts stand on the arrow tower to keep an eye on it, the water bandits gather between the houses to drink and throw dice, and there is a commotion everywhere.

In the middle of the meeting hall, the big boss Sun Qian sat on the main seat, his thin figure looked like a literati, but his face was gloomy, and he also showed a bit of anger.

The old man has not come back yet, there are only two masters in the hall, quartz, the quartz body is several circles thicker than Sun Qian, it belongs to the kind that doesn't look very smart, at this time he is still laughing at Ma Sihu's things a few days ago, and he is full of spittle.

Sun Qian was annoyed, and patted the armrest with a little annoyance:

"You still have the heart to laugh, it's not easy to recruit more than 1,000 people, and your reputation is also out of the way, I'm in contact with the big people in Jiangnan, and in a few days our brothers will be able to get a good job, but the result is good, and I will lose such a big person when I turn around." I can't even manage a thousand people, if there are 10,000 or 100,000 people in the future, how can others rest assured that they will be handed over to me? ”

Quartz coughed lightly, but he didn't dare to laugh, and asked curiously:

"Big brother, let's just recruit people to save money, but we don't know where to send the silver, and the brothers are suspicious when they stay in the village, and they think that we have divided it in private. You should give me a thorough explanation, and I can give them a thorough understanding to appease and comfort them......"

Sun Qian and this brother who has long flesh and no brains really can't communicate, so he waved his hand and said:

"The time has not come, just wait. Ye Jiuniang estimated that she had already escaped, so let the third child come back and find a way to tie up some meat tickets......"

As he spoke, there was a sudden sound of running and shouting outside the council chamber:

"Enemy attack! The officers and soldiers are calling......"

Sun Qian stood up abruptly when he heard this, his eyes were very surprised.

Quartz was also inexplicable, and wondered: "The government didn't say that it was going to beat us, why did you come here without a notice?" ”

"How do I know?"

Sun Qian took advantage of the famine to collect so many combatable soldiers, naturally not for the sake of kindness, but a few months ago, he connected with King Wu's side and reached an agreement with each other that King Wu would not send troops to attack, and the small-scale officers and soldiers organized by the government would also be cleared in advance.

Sun Qian thought for a while, raised his hand and said, "Let the little ones be on guard, you go out and see how many people there are." ”

Quartz nodded, got up, fetched a long-handled copper hammer from the wall, and walked out of the chamber with his shoulder on his shoulder.

Hearing the shouts, the men in the water village had already gathered and ran to the fortresses with swords, guns, bows and arrows. Although there are hundreds of elites taking the lead, most of the water bandits are still rabble who have just joined, and the situation is suddenly a little confusing, which has attracted a lot of scolding.

Quartz led more than 20 elite water bandits to the wooden fence of the water village, stood on the platform and looked at the lake in the distance - there was no light in the black hole, only a little fire burning on the pier on the opposite bank, flickering in the snowy night.

"Damn, didn't those fools set the house on fire?"

Quartz's face was slightly gloomy, and he looked at the subordinates next to him: "Send someone to the lake to have a look." ”

The subordinates carried knives with cautious faces: "Two groups of people were sent out, but they all went and did not return, and there was no response, and the officers and soldiers may have touched the shore." ”

Quartz is not very smart, but he is not stupid either, it takes at least a dozen big ships and thousands of officers and soldiers to attack the water village of a thousand people, how can he go ashore silently. He ordered a few good hands, and with a long-handled hammer, he slid down the gate of the water village, and walked along the road of the black hole to the lake.

The fire in the water village is bright, but the road outside is dim and snowy, even if you hold a torch, you can only look down on the front of you.

Quartz walked with a copper hammer in one hand, and wanted to scold the sentry on the other side of the bank, but he never thought that before he had walked a hundred steps, there was a soft sound of "sass" in the snowy night.

"Beware!"

Although Quartz was strong, he was very agile in his movements, and he lifted the hammer lightly, and when he heard the sound, he knocked away the galloping feathered arrows, and the arrows rubbed a few sparks on the copper hammer.

The minions behind him quickly raised their blades and pointed forward.

In the silent night ahead, a slightly unexpected "Huh?" came out of the man's slightly unexpected "Huh?" Then a little cold light blatantly pierced the wind and snow in front of him, and the white shadow was like a ghost, and when he saw it clearly, he had already arrived outside the zhang.

Seeing the sudden change in the face of this hand, Quartz picked up the long handle and swept it towards the attacking long lance, and his steps quickly retreated.

The brass hammer struck the mallet, making a crisp sound of gold and iron clashing.

Quartz only felt an incomprehensible huge force in his hand, and the copper hammer was out of his hand, but the long lance was only slightly offset.

The lance stabbed into the body of a minion beside him, and stabbed through the upper body of the minion effortlessly, like a poisonous snake spitting out a letter.

Quartz took three steps back to dodge the lance, and the blood sprayed from his side, and when he looked up, the white shadow had disappeared into the night, but the body of the minion had not yet fallen.

"Who?"

"What ......?"

The faces of more than a dozen elite water bandits changed greatly, and the night ahead was quiet as usual, if it weren't for the corpses of their companions who were still spurting blood, no one would have doubted that they were hallucinations.

"Withdraw!"

The copper hammer of quartz fell three steps in front of him, but he didn't dare to go forward to pick it up, staring at the path of the black hole, and his steps quickly retreated, and a dozen or so minions followed.

It's a pity that he didn't run far, and the white shadow appeared again, this time falling directly from the top of everyone's heads, and the lance appeared silently and pierced the top of a minion's head, and everyone noticed it.

Quartz was so frightened that his soul was scattered, and he didn't care about the subordinates around him, his speed soared violently, and he ran out a few feet away in two big steps. Behind him, there was the crunch of bones popping and the frightened screams of his subordinates.

However, after a breath of effort, after only two soft sounds, there was no movement behind him.

Quartz still didn't see what the other party was, and looked back in the frenzy, but what he chased from behind was the long-handled copper hammer he threw on the ground, and just turned around and hit the back, and the huge force smashed the strong quartz on his side and threw it out and rolled a few times on the snow.

Blood gushed up his throat, and Quartz's face turned red in an instant, but fortunately, people who walk in the rivers and lakes all the year round will leave some life-saving hands, with nail pieces on their front chest and back, and they are all fat all over their bodies, and they are not regarded as breaking their backbones, so they got up and continued to run, shouting:

"Shoot the arrows! Shoot the arrows! ”

Sassy –

Quartz and the others held torches, and the water bandits on the arrow tower of the water village had noticed the movement here, and after seeing the quartz rushing into the land of an arrow, more than a dozen bows began to pour water into the night to cover Quartz's escape.

And the ghostly white shadow in the night also gave up the pursuit and temporarily lost its trace.

After several waves of arrow rain, the wounded quartz was pulled up to the gate of the wall, and more than 100 water bandits with swords and soldiers guarded behind the wall, and several warships sailed out of the dock, ready to copy the back road of the 'officers and soldiers'. The archers drew their bows like the full moon, searching the night for the traces of the white shadow.

There was a brief silence in the water village, and everyone clenched their swords and paid attention to the surroundings, and the elusive shadow seemed to have quietly receded, and it never reappeared.

Just when many water bandits looked at each other and were about to send a large group of people out to take a look, there was a sudden muffled sound of 'bang-' from behind, like a ram mounted on something.

Many water bandits were terrified, and quickly turned their heads, but saw that under the watchtower behind the gate, a white shadow rushed to the wooden pillar of the watchtower at an almost terrifying speed, and hit the thigh-thick pillar with a slap on the mountain, directly breaking the foundation of the watchtower.

With a crisp sound and screams, the watchtower collapsed and smashed into the rear house, falling to pieces, and the white shadow did not stop for the slightest, and crashed into the other one.

The archer reacted, turned the arrow and fired the bow into the water village, never thought that there was a sound of breaking wind outside, the arrow was nailed to the back of the archer's head like a bead of beads, and in an instant, four or five people lay down, and the fire also rose from a corner of the huge water village......
