Chapter 18: Addicted
Meng Guiming secretly complained bitterly, originally he saw that the surname Qin was a terrible little fox, I don't know what kind of wind he smoked today, he actually fought with the officers and soldiers, isn't this purely looking for death?
Few of the officers and soldiers from the Ninghua Thousand Households Office from outside are capable, but they are officials of the imperial court, even if they can guard the gatehouse today, what about the future?
As soon as the imperial army arrives, the small Mengjiazhuang must not be razed to the ground?
How much is that 200 heads worth? Isn't it just for others? had to find death, and he had to be charged with the crime of being a bandit, so that he could follow him to death.
Alas......
Meng Guiming was sighing when a banging sound of a bowstring was suddenly heard outside, and then a clanging sound sounded on the roof of the gatehouse.
Soon, there was another earth-shattering shout of killing below, followed by a burst of screams.
Meng Guiming began to kneel on the ground, begging his ancestor to tell his grandmother to bless the guards not to attack, and also to bless the surnamed Qin not to kill too many officers and soldiers.
After only a few moments, the shouting and killing below quieted down, and only some terrible screams remained.
Meng Guiming let out a long sigh of relief.
……
Han Mao's eyes widened, and he looked at the scene in front of him in disbelief: more than a hundred soldiers rushed out of the gap in Mengjiazhuang as if they had seen a ghost, crying and shouting, and fled with a bang.
There were more than a dozen or twenty men covered in blood behind, dragging the long knives dripping with blood, and chased them until they reached the gap, and the blades flew over, and the dozen or so soldiers who fell behind fell.
This......
"Lord Qianhe, thief...... Thieves, they're thieves......"
Chen Maozi's horse was gone, and he was lame on one leg, dragging his injured leg and limping over.
"What's going on?"
Han Mao grabbed Chen's lame collar.
Chen Maozi gasped: "My lord, they are definitely not the Xiangyong Nursing Home, their subordinates have never seen such a powerful nursing home when they are so old, they must be thieves, and they are all strong bandits." ”
"What the hell is going on?"
"The subordinates led people around the back of the gatehouse, so that the bow and arrow suppressed the roof of the building, and then led people to attack, who knew that there were three-eyed guns and bird guns on the top, about seven or eight, and a few horn bows, very accurate, the brothers suffered heavy casualties, and after a long time of attack, they planned to retreat to rest."
"Who knows, the brothers retreated to the middle of the road, and suddenly dozens of big men jumped down from above, led by the surnamed Qin, dragging the long knife for a while, all of them were fierce and abnormal, and the knife head was extremely accurate, and the brothers were caught off guard, and they couldn't hold it, so they had to retreat."
"Rubbish!"
Han was furious and slapped Chen Maozi in the face.
Chen Maozi stumbled, took advantage of the situation and fell to the ground, and rolled a few times, far away from Han Mao.
Han Mao turned his head to look at the gap, and saw that the person surnamed Qin had brought a dozen people, standing in the gap and looking at him.
"Lord Qianhu, those two hundred heads are destined to have nothing to do with you, so you can go back wherever you come from." Seeing him, the man surnamed Qin also shouted with a smile.
Han Mao's teeth itched with hatred, and he waved his big hand: "Luo Baihu, this thousand households will give you thirty soldiers, take your people, and charge me in a cavalry team, and take the head of someone surnamed Qin to come back to see me before he comes to the door!" ”
"Yes."
Luo Baihu twitched the corners of his mouth, and had to give up his life.
Han Mao ordered his thirty family soldiers, and Luo Baihu's people added up to a total of more than sixty horses, and roughly lined up a charging formation to rush to the gap.
The man surnamed Qin was still standing in the gap, smiling, and did not take the cavalry back to the village until the cavalry was close to fifty paces.
Han Mao was full of anger when he saw it, and the surnamed Qin was so arrogant that he didn't even take him in his eyes at all!
When you chop off his head, you have to peel his skin and pull his tendons!
Han Mao didn't know that he was facing the strongest Jiuji Mountain bandits in the Huoshui Hongdong area, and the gang of people surnamed Qin were the strongest gang of old bandits in Jiuji Mountain Dazhai.
The most important thing is that the surname Qin is a wolf, not only fierce and abnormal, but also extremely cunning.
After Luo Baihu led sixty cavalry officers and soldiers into Zhuangzi, he saw that the man surnamed Qin was leading a dozen people along a road and slowly retreated to the other side.
The road is straight, on both sides are the high walls, the width can be four horses galloping side by side, except for some corpses on the ground, there are no obstacles such as rejecting horses, which is very suitable for cavalry to charge and kill, and only one charge can kill the opponent.
Immediately, Luo Baihu gave an order, and sixty horsemen each rode side by side, brandishing weapons and shouting five and six rushing to kill.
The man surnamed Qin stopped and was leading a dozen people to stand in the middle of the corridor, looking at them with a smile on his face.
Luo Baihu snorted secretly: Look for death!
In this narrow road, there is nowhere to hide, and there is no danger to defend, just a cavalry rush, no matter how strong your skills are, you have to crush your bones into meat sauce.
"Kill!"
Luo Baihu raised his sword and shouted, and the morale of the sixty horsemen suddenly soared.
When he was twenty steps away, Luo Baihu suddenly found that more than a dozen ropes were thrown down from the roofs on both sides, and the surnamed Qin and the dozen or so subordinates grabbed the ropes with long knives and climbed up.
At the same time, a group of figures appeared on the roofs on both sides, holding long bamboo poles and sweeping down.
A dozen steps ahead, a house wall was suddenly smashed open, and several long bamboo poles stretched out from the inside, just higher than the horse's head, and they were lying in the middle of the road.
Luo Baihu was taken aback, his brain exploded, and he was so shocked that his soul was scattered.
It was too late, and the four soldiers who rushed to the front crashed into a bamboo pole alive, breaking the bamboo pole, and the people were also knocked backwards, smashing the people behind them off the horse.
The people behind didn't have time to hold the horses, and they crashed into the remaining bamboo poles in waves.
By the time several bamboo poles were all broken, the sixty horsemen had already broken a third.
Then, a few bamboo poles were handed down from the roofs on both sides, and they were swept and stabbed in a mess, and they broke by a third in the blink of an eye.
Luo Baihu lowered his head and dodged the bamboo pole, and rushed across the road with the remaining twenty horsemen, and just wanted to find a way to rush out, he found that on the roof not far in front of him, there were more than a dozen people with firearms and bows and arrows.
Before he could turn around, the smoke of gunpowder rose, and when he was about ten paces away, the other party almost hit every shot.
Luo Baihu dodged a sharp arrow again, pulled the reins of the horse, turned his head and left.
However, as soon as he turned his head, he saw the man surnamed Qin, with more than a dozen people, dragging long knives, and pounced on him like a pack of wolves.
……
Han Mao frowned, Baba looked at the gap in the courtyard wall, and his mind was a little confused.
When his sixty rode in, he heard only shouts and screams, and then there was no sound.
Whether it's victory or defeat, you should always come out and report a message, but it's been a long time, and you can't see a single figure.
Just as Han Mao gradually lost his patience, the person surnamed Qin appeared on the top of the gatehouse.
"Han Qianhu, Xiaomin still advises you to go back wherever you come, don't finish your people, it's not good to go back." The one surnamed Qin still looked like he was smiling.
Han Mao's eyes were full of anger, but he felt a chill in his heart.
Since the surname Qin can still appear on the roof of the gatehouse, it can only show that the silent sixty horsemen are gone, and there is not a single one left.
Isn't there no one in Zhuangzi?
That small gatehouse can hide fifty or sixty people at most.
With that little man, how did he eat his sixty horsemen?
I still eat all the bones left.
Could it be that there are still people hiding in it?
Or, is the guy surnamed Qin really a powerful bandit for many years?
Either way, it's enough for him to eat a pot.
This place can't stay long.
Thinking of this, Han Mao shouted "Collect the troops", and he pulled the reins of the horse first and turned around and left.
The remaining officers and soldiers, who were less than two hundred, were relieved, hurriedly packed up the heads that had been cut off earlier, and ran away in a swarm.
"The big boss, that group of bad breeds ran away."
On the gatehouse, Luo Da Niu grinned.
Qin Chuan turned his head and asked, "Military Division, how is the capture?" ”
Song Zhiting shook his head and said: "Xiaosheng Fangcai has already counted neatly, when the officers and soldiers were defeated for the first time, seven pairs of cotton armor, four war horses, six horn bows, more than 40 pieces of various weapons, 12 iron-clad wooden shields, and 63 officers and soldiers were defeated and captured 57 pairs of cotton armor, more than 80 pieces of various weapons, 55 war horses, and 8 war horses that were killed and injured. ”
"In the end, our army captured 64 pairs of cotton armor, 59 intact war horses, 6 horn bows, 130 weapons of various kinds, and 12 iron-clad wooden shields."
"Okay."
After listening to Song Zhiting's report, Qin Chuan was so happy that he slapped the wall battlement.
For him, these things are more expensive than a few thousand taels of silver, and silver can be grabbed, but cotton-armored war horses are not so easy to grab.
"The big boss, Bobcat and Lao Huang are back." Luo Da Niu suddenly pointed in one direction and said.
Qin Chuan turned his head to look, only to see a small old man squatting on the ground on a mountain beam not far away, looking at this side, and he could vaguely see two big yellow teeth shining golden in the sunlight from a distance.
There was a skinny half-sized boy next to him, waving his hands, and from time to time he pointed in the direction of Han Mao's retreat.
"The big boss, the lynx said he had itchy hands and wanted to do a vote." Luo Daniu said again.
Qin Chuan looked in the direction where Han Mao had left, smiled suddenly, and then pulled out his long knife.
"There are blind brothers left behind in the gatehouse, other brothers come with me, Han Mao still has dozens of pairs of cotton armor, let's go rob his mother."
"Tell Bobcat and Lao Huang to let them bring some homeless people to follow the officers and soldiers quietly, and do it after dark, so that those homeless people can make the movement bigger."
"Staring at the officers and soldiers wearing cotton armor and riding horses, those people are either ** or soldiers, they are used to being powerful and blessed on weekdays, we have to help them pick off the skin, as for the old, weak, sick and disabled, let them go."
