On a hill four miles away, a low voice of inquiry could be heard in the grass.

"Do you see clearly?"

"It seems to be...... It doesn't seem to be. ”

", give me the binoculars!"

"Don't worry, your eyes aren't as good as mine."

It wasn't until the group of would-be robbers gradually moved away that Wang Yi put away the binoculars, and several guards next to him were still grabbing the other two binoculars.

"Wang Tou'er, do you see clearly?"

"Speaking of the young master, this symbol...... Wouldn't it be nice to change into clothes of different colors, but you have to make a gesture...... It's so far away that you can't see it clearly even with a telescope! ”

"What do you know, the young master said that some people are born with diseases...... Uh-uh, pervert, you are! ”

Wang Yi, who was lying on the ground looking at the map, finally couldn't help it, turned around and scolded: "Shut up for me!" ”

A few of the guards quieted down, and after a while they asked in a low voice, "Wang Tou'er, you can see clearly."

"Nope." Wang Yi said casually: "It's so far away, I can't see it clearly." ”

"That ......"

"A bunch of brainless ...... I've been teaching for a few months, why are you still so stupid! Wang Yi glared angrily, "I can't see it with such a big banner, so I just look at Zhou Ji's gestures."

"Flag"

One of the guards quickly picked up the binoculars and looked at it.

"See clearly"

"Uh, it's far away......"

"It's a Xu character!" Wang Yi kicked over, "Go, return!" ”

A guard asked in a low voice, "What about Brother Tuesday?"

Wang Yi walked back in silence, and only then did he whisper after descending the hill: "It depends on his luck." ”

Zhou Ji's luck...... It's just that Xu Hai, who came out to inspect, was angry when he saw Zhou Ji, and asked Lao Tan to guard the house, and actually sent his henchmen to loot and grab things.

In the end, Xu Hai directly asked Zhou Ji to be brought back to the station.

"I just heard that Wu Dahu took his men to Shangyu, and I heard that the general promised to let Wu Dahu wash the city after breaking the city." Liu Blind said enviously: "It's not like us...... If you don't wash a few more Zhuangzi, the brothers won't have anything to eat! ”

Zhou Ji took a piece of flatbread and took a few bites, muttering: "The general is soft-hearted......

"!" Liu Blind scolded: "Forget that last year in Pinghu, I killed the main force of Lu Bo's official army, so that Jiaxing and Huzhou could be snatched up!" ”

Zhou Ji looked at the other party stunned, "I didn't understand." ”

"You idiot!" Liu Blind scolded: "Follow me this time, I heard that you robbed a lot of good things in Wuzhen last year."

"Hey, just some calligraphy or something."

"Those calligraphy and paintings can save Lao Tan's life." Liu Blind said in a low voice: "Shaoxing is not familiar with this brother......"

"I'm not familiar with it."

"Pull it down, I heard it last time in Wuzhen, you dug a secret cellar in the old mansion......"

"Okay, okay, but it's okay, brother doesn't go up and play for his life!"

"I know, the people Lao Tan brings are all the same, he can run fast when he grabs things, and he runs fast when he fights!"

Although Liu Blind is not shallow, he has few subordinates, and he was sent out to patrol the surroundings, and several Zhuangzi nearby also knew that there were a large number of Japanese robbers nearby, and they were all nervously locked the village gate, no way, not to mention the Sanjiang Institute that is now shrinking its head, even the scouts sent by the Shanyin Huiji can't get here, let alone the official army.

Zhou Ji went directly to call the door, and several Zhuangzi immediately sent out a large amount of grain...... In fact, this is a good intention, the grain and grass brought by the Japanese are about to bottom out, and they will definitely slaughter a few Zhuangzi, if they send food, they dare not say that they can live, at least they can live a few more days to see if there is a chance.

went around the surroundings again, and Zhou Ji, who was going to find a chance to escape, dispelled this idea and lost the show...... The surroundings are full of pirates, even if the direction you came from just now...... Wu Dahu is leading his subordinates from there to Shangyu, no wonder the guy he killed before was Wu Dahu's subordinate.

I don't know if Lao Wang saw the gesture or not...... Zhou Ji prayed in his heart not to turn around and bump into Wu Dahu's gang.

After getting a mule and Liu Blind walked around, Zhou Ji, who was not very familiar with Shaoxing Mansion, roughly figured out that the location of the Japanese Kou was now in the north of Shangyu County, between Linshanwei and Lihai.

To the northwest is the broken Lihai Station, and due west is the Sanjiang Station that cannot be retracted...... Zhou Ji pondered in his heart that if he wanted to escape, he could only flee in the direction of Sanjiangsuo.

……

Shangyu County.

At the head of the city, there was a sound of fighting, and the Japanese robbers climbed up the ladder with knives in their mouths, and the defenders on it stabbed down desperately with spears or long sticks.

Large vasks of boiling gold juice poured down the ladder, instantly sweeping away the pirates on the ladder...... This kind of wounded soldier who was scalded had almost no chance of surviving in this era, and even if it was immediately disinfected with alcohol, it was impossible to save it.

General Lu Peng ran back and forth at the head of the city with a spear, his armor was full of bloodstains, and the soldiers around him were holding guns and knives, as well as a few birds, they were not many reserve troops...... After all, there were only more than 500 defenders in total, and there were three times as many pirates outside the city.

With a loud shout, the spear in Lu Peng's hand pierced into the back of the widow who jumped on the city, and pushed it down high, and the widow who was emerging on the ladder was smashed and fell down the city together.

The soldiers poked with spears in their hands, stabbing several Japanese robbers who climbed up around them, and the two Japanese who had just climbed up to the city could only climb down helplessly, and the result was a mess up and down, Lu Peng slammed down with a shield and smashed the two Japanese robbers down.

Unlike the battles in the north, the Japanese in the southeast were good at hand-to-hand combat, and rarely used bows and arrows...... Even if he is a guard soldier, he can use a bow and arrow.

Let's put it bluntly, in the southeast, only those who hold hereditary official positions such as Hou Jigao, Lu Bo, Lu Bin, and Zhang Yuanxun are qualified to learn bows and arrows...... Where can the average guard soldier afford a good bow?

Not far away, Sun Piyang, a county magistrate in soft armor, held a long knife and knocked down a widow, slammed his right knee on the chest of the widow, and the guards on the side slashed his head and face twice.

is different from a pure civil servant like Mei Shoude, Sun Piyang, who is out of the side, is not the kind of literati who is polite and powerless, just by looking at the weapon...... Mei Shoude used a long sword, Sun Piyang changed it to a steel knife early, killing thieves, naturally a knife is better than a sword.

Sun Piyang straightened up, turned his head to look around, and commanded in a loud voice, the guards around him were brought or recruited from the north.

"Stuck, stuck!"

"Hard, hard!"

A burst of cheers came, Lu Peng turned his head to look, and under Sun Piyang's loud command, the three ladders were overturned in turn.

In fact, the ancient ladder production is very cumbersome, it is a siege weapon, it is difficult to be overthrown, but the southeast Japanese do not understand this, and the ladder made only needs a ladder to climb up to the city.

Out of the side, Sun Piyang, who was quite familiar with military affairs, saw this early, not to mention the hook that connected the head of the city, not to mention the hook that connected the city, and there was not even a base, it was too simple.

Five cloud ladders in a row were pushed down to the top of the city, and the Japanese finally collected their troops, Lu Peng threw the spear to his own soldiers, and strode over, "Sun Zhixian, thanks to you." ”

Sun Piyang is only twenty-six years old this year, but he has a big beard, looks like he is in his early thirties, his skin is dark, his eyes are focused, he stared at the Japanese who were slowly retreating under the city, and said in a low voice: "The Japanese have been attacking the city for two days, and there are many casualties, but they still do not retreat. ”

Lu Peng looked at no one around the left and right, and asked in a low voice, "When will the reinforcements arrive?"

"Shaoxing Mansion is not big, and reinforcements should arrive soon." Sun Piyang's face remained unchanged, but he pondered in his heart that he received a military order yesterday to stick to the city, and there must be reinforcements.

Sun Piyang is not an ordinary jinshi, he is from a military family, although his martial arts are a little looser, but he is familiar with military books and is good at the overall situation, so after he received the military order, he quickly understood the situation, and the Japanese and the official army will start a life-and-death struggle around Shangyu County, but Shangyu County itself is not important.

In other words, Shangyu County is not important to the Japanese Invaders, and it does not have much weight in Hu Zongxian's mind...... But at least there is some weight, so there is the word "there must be reinforcements" in the military order sent.

Lu Peng accompanied Sun Piyang to stand at the head of the city, after a while, a personal soldier came up to report, Lu Peng's face was a little ugly, two days down, more than 500 soldiers under his command have been killed and wounded nearly one-third, if the Japanese continue to attack so fiercely, I am afraid that it can only support two days at most.

At this time, a low noise sounded left and right, and Lu Peng looked up, and a few miles outside the city, countless black dots like ants were coming from the northwest, gathering with the retreating Japanese invaders.

"The Japanese have increased their troops!" Sun Piyang said in a low voice: "Send a messenger to report to the governor immediately, if there are no reinforcements, at most, Shangyu will definitely fall." ”
