Chapter 190: Reinforcements Arrive
In order to delay the time and wait for reinforcements, Luo Wei said, "Since you have some different opinions, and our words were just said, why don't you give you a stick of incense, how about we talk about it?" ”
The leader of the thieves said, "If it is already dark today and there are not many torches, how about we exchange people instead of discussing?" Isn't it beautiful that we release your villagers, and that you release our strong men? ”
Luo Wei said, "You just said that it was dark, and I don't think we could release it together, in case something didn't see clearly, and a few people were missed, wouldn't it add to the trouble?" Wouldn't it be more appropriate for us to release one strong man, and for you to release three villagers? ”
The leader of the thieves hesitated for a moment, and said, "No, there are nine of you left, and there are four strong men there. I'll look at one for two! ”
Luo Wei originally wanted to delay time, but at this time, he faintly saw the light and shadow of some torches appear in the distance, so it would be better to do it simply.
He said, "One for two, then we are the last man left." I look at the four of us, you can all see it. You take all the nine villagers to the front, gather the torches together, and when we see it, we can release it together. ”
The officer next to him was puzzled for a while, he didn't want to come a little bit just now, why did he suddenly speed up now. However, Bao Chu saw some clues and was ready for battle, these people are still very dangerous after all.
The leader of the thieves said, "Okay, that's it." ”
The two sides quickly made preparations and began to release the people. The thief's side is actually a little strange, but relying on his own large number of people, plus strong labor is really precious, so he stupidly agreed directly.
At this time, some armed thugs standing on the west side, facing the east side, also saw the torches looming in the distance, and immediately felt strange.
Their whispers caused the thieves in the middle of the crowd to be a little strange, and when they were about to ask aloud, Bao Chu suddenly shouted and stopped the audience.
After drinking, Bao said angrily, "Do you want to try my knife skills?" Hurry up and release them! ”
When people are shouted at or reprimanded by majesty for doing something, they will always react subconsciously.
For example, the policeman yelled at a weak-hearted thief, "Stop! The latter is likely to panic and surrender obediently out of fear.
At this time, some thieves who had seen Bao Chu's martial arts heard him suddenly shout, and they subconsciously obeyed.
Even the leader of the thieves was shocked by Bao Chu's momentum, and he didn't dare to stop it, so he watched the two sides complete the prisoner exchange.
After the exchange was completed, the leader of the thieves said, "We have released the people according to the agreement, do you also want to provide us with some food, isn't it easy for the Qi side to do it?" ”
"Haha, you're right, it's really easy, but it also depends on whether you are worthy or not."
The leader of the thieves was slightly displeased with Luo Wei's words, but he had an absolute advantage in numbers, and if he didn't coax them, these villagers would let them go if they wanted, and they would be caught if they wanted!
Lowe shook his finger behind him and said, "Look at who those people are." ”
What the heck? Everyone looked in the direction he pointed, and saw that dozens of torches were indeed flashing in the distance, and they were getting closer.
"Who are they? It can't be a horse bandit, right? "Some armed thugs forget that they are bandits, and instead are afraid of the approaching fires.
Luo Wei said calmly, "Don't move, none of you are here to bring you food, everyone has a share." If anyone runs or moves, they won't even have the last one. ”
"Oh, there's something to eat!" "That's right."
Some of the hungry and panicked thugs were so elated when they heard the food that they didn't understand what the rest of the sentence was saying.
Only the leader and a few men were so frightened that they could not speak at all.
As the large number of torches approached rapidly, the sound of horses' hooves and the whistles of the riders was heard in the ears of the people, and even the earth began to tremble incessantly.
Some of the thugs reacted and were about to run away when they lost their weapons, but they were killed by Bao and the officers. I watched Bao stab a man in the chest with a knife, and then kicked him down. The rest of the crowd grew clumsy with their legs as if they had been filled with lead.
"Runner again, die!"
Bao let out a roar of rage, stunting the thugs in place.
After a while, a group of cavalry arrived. They didn't lean in directly, but circled around the crowd, twenty paces away, staring at the person in the middle.
Then three of the cavalry approached, and one of them was the officer of the Four Seas Merchant Gang who had gone to report the news before.
The leader of the cavalry said: "I am Xiao Qi, a subordinate of the Eighth Cavalry Battalion of the Third Guards Cavalry of the Third Guards Cavalry of the Xinxi Liang Army!" Except for those from the county of Qiyi, all of them will lay down their weapons, and after screening them one by one, they will wait for our arrangement! ”
"Ah, what kind of brigade is he? Ah, my stomach ......" one of the thugs was still rambling to himself with a weapon, and was knocked down by a cavalry dozens of paces away.
"Look for death! Hurry up and lay down your weapons, or this is the end! Xiao Qi warned loudly again.
The thugs were so frightened that they quickly dropped their weapons and fell to their knees. Bao Chu, Qiang Fu and the others also threw away their weapons and obeyed the arrangement after Luo Wei gave him a reassuring look.
Only the leader of the thieves, knowing that he was certain to die, and that it was better to end it than to be humiliated, raised his sword and went to his neck.
"Whoosh! Sou! ”
Two sharp arrows pierced the thief's arm and shoulder in a single breath, so that he could not do it himself anyway, and he died.
"Haha, Brother Luo is still good at archery, I didn't expect you to change your career to the Shang Gang, this crossbow arrow is still so fast and accurate."
At the edge of light and darkness, a voice came from among the cavalry, apparently the eagle that had arrived later was from his hand, and the crossbow arrow in front was from Rowe who was a little closer.
Luo Wei also smiled, "Haha, I didn't expect it to be Wang Shi...... The team led you to come in person. Tomorrow we will cut two catties of mutton and drink a little. ”
Team Wang smiled and said, "Brother Luo, you are making me drink and make mistakes." You are seeing that Counselor Xiao Xiao is here, and you are deliberately greedy for me. ”
Xiao Qi in front of him blushed for a while, if it weren't for the Wang team to let him exercise, this matter of deterring the enemy army should still be done by the military commander.
As a result, he was one level lower than the team leader, and of course he obeyed the order.
Luo Wei pointed to the leader of the thieves whose arms and shoulders had been pierced, and said, "This guy can't die now." He is the leader of the thieves, his reputation is not small, but his kung fu is not good. ”
The crowd pressed hard again, holding down the leader to the death, and never let him feel better.
