Zhu Yue gently pulled the crossbow machine. The soldier seemed to come to his senses and slashed forward, but the distance was so close that he was firmly nailed to the stairs by seven crossbow arrows in the blink of an eye. Zhu Yue dodged back, and Da Lan and Li Baishen's spears also followed, and several people stared at the staircase, but no one came down from there. There were only three soldiers wearing red armor in the lighthouse, all of whom were shot in the chest, Zhu Yue carried a knife and checked carefully, even the one who was only hit by one arrow also had more breath and less breath, and he couldn't survive when he saw it.

The infantry crossbow is equipped with three-edged armor arrows, and in addition to piercing armor and wearing helmets, it is more conducive to bloodletting, and at this time, the bottom of the lighthouse is full of blood, and the boots are gone. It was really unexpected to solve the opponent so easily, and several people put their hearts down. However, Zhu Yue regretted it in a blink of an eye: if he left a living mouth, he could also know the ins and outs of this matter. When I was annoyed, I faintly heard a slight groan coming from the navigation light mechanism in the middle of the tower. The city guards looked at each other, and Li Baishen and Da Lan had obviously checked the second floor, and even a mouse could not be hidden in such a small place, and there must be no more enemy troops. The old wine stammered, "It's still ...... And also...... There's a top floor! ”

The lighthouse has three layers, the third layer is the place where the navigation lights are lit, only surrounded by a half-person-high white stone breastoping wall, and in the middle is the navigation light mechanism is constantly turning, and the golden light is dazzling - the wind is strong on Bolangsha, but it is sent by the master who built the tower to use this purpose, the lighthouse of Bolangsha is not a little fire that solidifies, and the strong light gathered by the golden mirror is swept out in a circle. Between the breastwork wall and the golden mirror mechanism, it is barely the width of a person, and when the navigation light is lit, the gold plate can burn people to death, and when it is not lit, it will be cold and biting. If it weren't for the lamp, no one would go up there. The city guards were so used to it that they forgot that the top floor could also be hidden.

Zhu Yue was much calmer this time, waved his hand and said, "Even someone is half frozen to death." Da Lan took the lead in jumping upstairs with a knife, and everyone crowded and ran up one after another, and only when they went up to the second floor, they heard Da Lan shouting: "It's Wu Mazi!" It's still alive! Wu Mazi, who was dragged down by Dalan, was very embarrassed, the quilt wrapped in his body burned through several places, and he didn't know how long he stayed at the top of the tower, the whole person was blue, if it wasn't for the tip of his nose and a little warm, it was really not better than a dead man, no matter how a few soldiers called, it just didn't make a sound. In desperation, Lao Jiu took out a wine gourd from his pocket, and choked Wu Mazi after a few sips of spirits. Da Lan glared at the old wine and said, "Your bear bag is quite beautiful, so you haven't forgotten to bring wine to Shangbo with so much effort." Lao Jiu knew that he had made a big mistake, so he didn't dare to say more, so he bowed his head and stepped aside.

Zhu Yue was inspired by the old wine, lit his cigarette stick, and stuffed it into Wu Mazi's mouth, it was wine and smoke, and Wu Mazi's face was finally a little popular. Zhu Yue saw that his eyes were rolling again, and he pulled out his cigarette stick and was about to ask, when he heard Wu Mazi shouting in a hoarse voice: "I'm going to die!" I'm going to die! Da Lan tapped his face with the back of his hand: "If you die, will you still scream?" The city guards upstairs and downstairs couldn't help but laugh, and the atmosphere of slaughter since Shangbo finally dissipated a little.

Zhu Yue frowned, and his thoughts quickly turned in his heart. Needless to say, the fierceness of the enemy army is needless to say, I don't know what Wu Mazi will say, but don't scare the city guards. He cleared his throat and said, "It's not a matter that so many people are crowded in the tower, Wang Yimi, Dalan, and Lao Jiu, you go to the door and check the two rooms again, and pay attention to whether there are still people in the tower." The meaning of this is to ask Wang Yimi to lead the team. Since the Bo, Wang Yimi's calmness has impressed everyone, and he has become the second person under Zhu Yue. Lao Jiu is too timid, he is almost the same as him, and only a big blue who can fight can be regarded as a little scale. As for Li Baishen, although he has always been lazy, he has run through a lot of places in order to deal with his gluttonous mouth, and he has some strange insights.

The three red-armored soldiers were dressed strangely, and when Li Baishen entered the tower just now, he was stunned when he saw them, but Zhu Yue saw it in his eyes, and he might be able to confirm what Wu Mazi said. Wu Mazi was so frightened that he spoke upside down, Zhu Yue and Li Baishen guessed together, and it was easy to understand the general situation. The battle started in August, followed by the last time Wu Mazi came to give support. Wu Mazi is a fool, listening to him talk about the defeat of the Thunder Cavalry by the Jinju Army for a long time, and the burning of the Zaolin Cang by the Eagle Banner Army, everyone must think that the Qingshi Army has won a great victory, but it is not right to listen to it: if the Qingshi Army really broke off the foundation of the Shang Army in one go, how could it retreat to the Qingshi City in one go?

According to Wu Mazi, even under the city, the Qingshi army is still brave and good at fighting, so that the merchant army cannot find the north. However, a few days ago, the surrounding area of Qingshi had been occupied by the merchant army, and the supply from the rear had long been cut off, and Qingshi had become a lonely city. It's just that the merchant army is not accustomed to water warfare, so the Huai'an Chamber of Commerce can send a few boats of food and weapons to rescue the emergency. The waterway is still open, and Xiao Qianxia finally remembered the city guards on those lighthouses, and while transferring the cavalry to attack in all directions, he sent some soldiers to pretend to be ordinary people to sneak out of the city. After all, the blockade of the merchant army was not tight, and it was mobilized by the Qingshi cavalry, which was full of flaws, and was actually slipped out of the defense line by Wu Mazi.

Wu Mazi only thought that he was blessed with a great life, but unexpectedly, he was intercepted by a group of merchant troops on the Nandui Mountain and was escorted all the way to Bo. The merchant army is a veteran of night raids, and when he arrived in Bolangsha in the middle of the night, Zhang Yudi was very vigilant and called Hou Ni to rush out to collect the suspension bridge. Hou Ni saw the opportunity quickly, and used a rocket to burn the cart transporting whale fat. When the merchant army landed, it was changed to a strong attack. In fact, there are as many as 100 Shang troops, so what do you have to attack against the two city guards? After killing the two of them and rushing to Bo, the merchant army found that there were no other guards on Bo. On the way, Wu Mazi also wanted to scare the merchant army, but he only said that there were a lot of garrisons in Bolangsha, and the merchant army naturally felt strange when they arrived in Bo. At that time, there was no fog, and when I looked around, I saw Da Mengzui, and the merchant army was about to go to the village. It's just that these merchants are all reeds and flowers, where have they seen such a delicate navigation light as Bolangsha, and they can't put out the light after thinking about it for a long time.

The lighthouse was made of white stone, and it couldn't be burned down, and it burned several people after a long time. I had no choice but to carry Wu Mazi out. Wu Mazi didn't know how to use the navigation lights, but he also knew that it was a matter of life and death, so he had to desperately wrap himself in a wet quilt and rush to the Golden Mirror Mechanism to cover the navigation lights and faint inside. As for when the merchant army team left, he couldn't say. Zhu Yue felt strange, according to Wu Mazi's words, the army had already extinguished the navigation lights before dawn. Da Meng chewed only a few miles, they should have arrived a long time ago, why haven't they heard any movement over there until now? He went up to the top floor with Li Baishen and looked at it, but he couldn't see anything—the fog was so thick that he couldn't see anyone ten steps away. The whereabouts of the army were so secretive, Zhu Yue felt a big headache, and he didn't know if he should let the city guards stay in Bo.

Li Baishen suddenly clapped his hands and said, "Boss, I know." He crouched down and pointed to the golden mirrors, "At first, the merchant army only thought about turning off the lights, but when the lights went out, he was afraid that he would move the thoughts of these mirrors." Sure enough, there were traces of knives and axes at the bottom of those golden mirrors. Li Baishen said with a smile: "Those dirt buns are afraid that they can't see that these are all gilded copper plates, and they want to pry the gold and go back to divide it." They don't have the tools to do it, so how can they pry it off? I'm afraid that a lot of time has been wasted here. He gasped, "If it weren't for the difficulty of the mountain road, we wouldn't have bumped into them when we came to Bo." Zhu Yue nodded and said, "I also wonder if they planned to destroy the navigation lights and delayed their efforts because they didn't succeed, but you said it more reliably." He looked at Li Baishen a little strangely, "Why are everyone so smart today?" ”

Li Baishen rubbed his hands and said with a little embarrassment: "I also fought the idea of this golden mirror at the beginning. After helping Wu Mazi down to the outside of the tower, Wang Yimi also turned back, saying that Bo Shang was very clean, and it seemed that there were only those three soldiers. Zhu Yue thought about it, gathered a few people to the corner of the door to avoid the wind, and told the news of Wu Mazi in 1510. "There are only three of them on the Bo, and there are more than 100 people who go to Benda." The difference in strength is so great that he can't hide it, so Zhu Yue simply made it clear. "It looks like the Red Brigade," Li Baishen added, "The Red Brigade Lei Cai, the mighty king was rampant in the world back then, known as the world's first infantry army, that was very powerful." ”

The city guards were really taken aback, not to mention the old wine, even Da Lan's jaw was about to fall. The people of Wanzhou have always been comfortable, almost isolated from the war in the Eastern Continent, and only know that the Qingshi Sixth Army is a first-class strong army in Wanzhou, where do they know what other powerful military horses are in the Sixteen Kingdoms? However, when the mighty king entered and exited the apocalypse, he walked leisurely, and broke the alliance of the princes while talking and laughing, and his reputation was still not small in Wanzhou. Li Baishen has walked through Zhongzhou in the past and has seen a lot, and what he said must be good. After being stunned, Lao Jiu muttered: "Even if it's not the Red Brigade, looking at Zhang Yudi's appearance, I know that it is some ruthless characters." Several people each recalled the tragic situation of Zhang Yudi and Hou Ni, and all that swam in their hearts was the shadow of fear.

Lao Jiu continued: "Zhang Yudi's good skills seem to have no chance to resist, so aren't we even more useless?" If he said this normally, at least Da Lan would have been uncertain. Da Lan has always been very disdainful of Zhang Yudi's dancing knives and guns, and always thinks that what he has practiced on the street is real kung fu, but this time he didn't say that the old wine chirped crookedly. Everyone can see Zhang Yudi's body clearly, with so many arrows shooting, what is the use of strong martial arts? "Don't talk about anything else." Zhu Yue knocked on the cigarette pouch and said word by word, "I estimate that those Red Brigade should go to Da Meng Chew anyway." When they entered the village, they would naturally find that there was no barracks there. Everyone in Da Mengzui knows that we are stationed here, and it will not take much time for the Red Brigade to turn around and turn back. He paused, "It's not a matter for us to stay in Bolangsha, so let's think about what to do?" Don't wait for death in vain. ”

The city guards were silent, they were stationed in Bolangsha to guard the tower, and it was a capital crime to abandon the defense and flee according to military law. Zhu Yue looked left and right and nodded: "Yes, this is serious military affairs, not ordinary bragging, then I'll say it." He swallowed, "Supposedly there is an enemy attack, and we should have defended the tower." However, everyone also understands that this is not a matter of whether you can't keep it, it's a matter of whether you can't keep it. Let's add it together, even if you count the injured Wu Mazi, there are only six people. It's not for me to say anything, the soldiers on Bolangsha are good at fishing and farming, if you want to talk about fighting, ......" Da Lan nodded vigorously. At that time, he followed Zhu Yue and rushed in, but fortunately, the three Red Brigade soldiers were all shot down by crossbow arrows. If there is a negligent counterattack, then the narrow passage will not be able to dodge at all, and even if you can kill the Red Brigade, you will have many holes in your body. It's over.

Da Lan felt scared when he thought about it, and at this time he echoed loudly and said: "Let's kill these soldiers of the Red Brigade is a shit luck, if there are really hundreds of people rushing up...... What do we keep? It's already minced meat. In Zhu Yue's case, although he has never said it publicly before, he has never thought about how to "defend the tower". Unlike Hou Ni, he had always believed that the stationing of the seven city guards in Bolangsha was just a gesture, and if someone really came to attack, it would mean that this posture had become invalid. In this case, what is the point of guarding the tower? Naturally, that can be abandoned. Zhu Yue cleared his throat and said, "Da Lan is right...... was about to make a decision, but was suddenly interrupted by Lao Jiu: "If we abandon the tower and escape, we will be killed if we return to Qingshi." ”

Zhu Yue couldn't help but open his mouth and almost scolded. I don't know if Lao Jiu is really stupid or fake, even if he is the most timid of these soldiers, he shouldn't talk about things so far here. Da Lan smiled bitterly: "Then why don't we go back to Qingshicheng?" Li Baishen also nodded: "Didn't you listen to Wu Mazi?" The bluestone is surrounded, even if we want to go back, we can't go back! He shook his head, "When we can go back, I'm afraid that the bluestone will be gone." When he said this, the faces of the city guards stiffened a little. In the past two years, the army has won successive battles, and it is also a good reputation in Wanzhou, but everyone is talking about tiger color change. One of the most criticized aspects of the merchant army is military discipline.

The king of Shang raised troops to conquer for years, how could a poor place like Shang afford such a war? It is because Chu Chennian did not follow the old system, and made a name of "feeding the war with war", where the merchant army passed, the grain and wealth could not be left, and the men in the prime of life also had to be dragged to serve as soldiers, and when attacking the city and plundering the land, they often looted to boost morale. After several years of fighting, the casualties of the merchant army were not small, but the army was getting bigger and bigger, which can be regarded as a strange story in the Eastern Continent. It is rumored that Chu Chennian's father also died in Qingshi. These incidents add up, if Bluestone City is broken, I am afraid that it will become a ghost town, where will anyone remember to enforce military law on the small city guards of Bolangsha?
